The administration building of Monmouth College was used as Daddy Warbuck's
mansion for the movie version of ANNIE. (Parts of our library were also
used for the FDR scenes.) In our case, the "somewhere else" problem is in
reverse: there is a scene where you see a bunch (gaggle? :-) ) of orphans
running down 5th ave. in New York and arrive a few minutes later at the
gate of Warbuck's mansion. This is mildly amusing since this particular get
is on a quiet, tree-lined, suburban street far from the bussle of city life
(besides being a long run for a group of little girls :-) :-) ).

One other note: if you happened to see ANNIE, you were fortunate enough to
see several areas of the building only shown on special occasions, such as
the pool. (It's in the basement along with the theatre and the chapel.)
