Colonial Street is one of the backlot street sets at Universal Studios Hollywood. The street set has a long history, spanning over 60 years of movies and television. From 2004- 2012 it was used in the filming of the Desperate Housewives television series, in which the street was known as Wisteria Lane. After the production of Desperate Housewives wrapped the street under went a small make over to remove the essence of Wisteria Lane, so that it could be used in other productions. As of May 2012 the street has emerged, and most of the iconic white fencing and wisteria has been removed.
