Appearances of Cape Cod Addresses
Cape Cod
Lee Falk rented Duffy's summer place atop Baldy Hill in the late 50s, and purchased it in October 1961. He remodeled the cottage and had a tennis court built on the property.
In the beginning it was probably meant as a joke that someone started to refer to the summer house as "Xanadu". Then Lee Falk's family members took up the theme and embellished on it. Approaching the house there are (was?) a series of signs quoting from the opening lines of "Kubla Khan", in honor of Coleridge's pleasure dome.
In many stories, there are indications that Mandrake's home, Xanadu, is located in the same place as Lee Falk's cottage.
