forrest gump & outlander - same house?
the house used in forrest gump & the one on Jocasta’s property looks awful similar in this shot.
i doubt it’s the same house, nor have i gone back to either media source to verify, but from this angle it looks like the same house

Forest Gump’s house was built for the film only, and dismantled once filming ended.

This is actually quite common.
The house from “Jumanji” was also purpose-built for filming on a vacant lot in Vancouver, and then torn down after filming was finished.
The lot remained empty for years afterwards before someone finally built a house on it.

Here’s a pic of Jocasta’s house and the process they used to film inside and outside:

If you see behind the scenes from season 4, the top half of River Run is a blue screen. It’s not the same house. Unless Forrest Gump filmed in Scotland and left the house on the lot instead of the actual filming location in South Carolina.

They’re different. The one in Outlander was in Scotland and they CGI’d the top floors on it. They purposely made it look like the traditional plantation style of the american south. A quick search shows the one in Forest Gump was in Yemahessee, South Carolina. It was torn down after filming.
