I'm sure I'm not the only person to have noticed glaring architectural similarities between the two houses. Look at the central columns, they are almost identical.
P.S The Bates Motel set has been demolished. Here is a link for further information:

It's all a deep end.

Where've you been hiding Robs?
Yeah I noticed it, I guess they just stuck with what worked at the time.

When I see Susan Norton kind of climb/walking up to the Marston house, I think of Lila Crane doing that as she goes up to the Bates house. Very similar scenes.
You asked a pretty question; I've given you the ugly answer.

Not to mention the scene where Straker
grabs the doctor and impales him
has an overhead shot just like the scene in
Psycho
where "Mother" stabs the private investigator.

Oh yes!
Time to cross this one off my October watch list this weekend. I am looking forward to it!
