As a historical gem in Oceanside, the Top Gun House is known by history buffs as The Graves House – named for its original owner Dr. Henry Graves who enjoyed the beautiful Victorian as his vacation home in the late 1800s. When Paramount was seeking the perfect location for Top Gun character Charlie Blackwood’s residence, the studio settled on the historical Graves House as the ideal filming spot. In the last year, the home has been repainted to match its 1986 color palette and filled with Top Gun memorabilia for visitors to enjoy, including a refurbished Yamaha Kawasaki Ninja ZX900 Motorcycle, identical to the one Tom Cruise rode in the film!
