It is always a possibility but never a guarantee.

Why did I not get to see the Salvatore House from The Vampire Diaries on the tour?

The original Salvatore Boarding House was filmed for the first season of The Vampire Diaries at the historic Glenridge Hall Mansion in Sandy Springs. However, for season 2-8, the building was reproduced in a set at the studio. Sadly, the original manor from 1929 was demolished and all its magnificent gardens and surrounding forest were razed to the ground in 2015, to make room for urban development.
