Boulder, Colo. (KUSA) -- Following the sudden death of actor and comedian Robin Williams, fans in Boulder, Colorado, flocked to the house used in the 'Mork & Mindy' show.

Several people, including Democratic Congressman Jared Polis, stopped by the "Mork and Mindy house" on PIne Street in Boulder to pay tribute to the 63-year-old. Although filmed in California, Boulder was the setting for the late 70s sitcom that aired on ABC.

Polis watched the show as a child growing up in Boulder. He says Williams helped put the college town on the map. Boulder native Carrie Walker also went to the house. She says it's a landmark she often takes visitors to see.

Flowers and a sign that read "U will be missed Mork" were placed beneath a picture of the actor posted on a fence surrounding the 130-year-old Boulder home.
