The Baldwin Sisters House from "The Waltons" is still standing strong on the WB backlot.
After all these decades I thought maybe there was an extensive remodel, as it's currently being used in the WB series, "Bob Hearts Abishola" on CBS. But it looks like maybe this was just CGI to create that home, because in every other recent photo, the home is still brick.
This exterior has been used in many shows including the fifth season on "Hazel"
In order to block the view of the backlot, they added a brick wall to the right, and another one at the end of the driveway surrounding the property!
Who doesn't love a brick wall around just two sides of their beautiful home?
In the shots below you can see some sort of plywood looking wall, and an urban backlot street.
This long shot of the house shows what is on other side of the structure.

These shots are from a first season Partridge Family episode:

Update from the Columbia Ranch Facebook page in November 2023:
Man, they just can't leave anything alone at the WB Ranch. This was The Farmer's Daughter's house, Hazel's Season 5 house, Sheila Summer's house on Bewitched, The house that Endora and Uncle Arthur were making disappear and reappear, Rance's plantation house, and all kinds of others I can't think of. It's an icon. It always had red brick, Roman porch columns, and dentil mouldings at the top until this Bob & Abishola crap came along.
