Jim and Pam’s House from “The Office”

IMG_0079

One location that I stalked back in April while fellow stalker Lavonna and her daughter Melissa were in town was the house that Jim Halpert (aka John Krasinksi) purchased for his fiancé Pam Beesly (aka Jenna Fischer) in the Season 5 episode of The Office titled “Frame Toby”.  At the time I had never actually seen an episode of the series despite the fact that pretty much everyone in my life (from fellow stalker Owen to my best friend Kylee) had been telling me how fabulous it was.  But then, a few weeks ago, I finally took the plunge and rented the show’s entire first season on DVD, and, let me tell you, once I sat down to watch it I simply COULD NOT STOP!  It practically became an addiction!  They say that laughter is the best medicine and from what I’ve experienced watching The Office that sentiment is absolutely true.  I started viewing the series during a particularly stressful time in my life and it brought me so many much-needed laughs that I was lifted right out of my funk.  In fact, I can honestly say that never IN MY LIFE have I laughed out loud at a show as much as I have these past few weeks while watching The Office.  It’s absolutely hilarious!  For those of you holdouts who have never watched the show, you simply must start!  But I digress.  Anyway, last night I finally saw the “Frame Toby” episode in which Jim and Pam’s house is first shown, which meant that I could finally, finally blog about the place!

On The Office, Jim and Pam’s house actually first belonged to Jim’s parents.  He buys it from them as a gift for Pam because, as he says, he wants to help his parents out and because he was able to “save on closing costs”.  So darn cute!  🙂  I have to give major props to Owen on finding this location as producers actually changed the property’s address number in the episode in order to throw us stalkers off track!

As you can see in the above photograph, in real life the house is numbered 13831.

But, as you can see in the above screen capture, producers had the second “1” digitally removed from the scene.  UGH!  I SO hate it when they do that!  Changing address numbers has to be my biggest stalking pet peeve!  Thankfully though, Owen, acting on a tip from a fellow stalker, started searching the neighborhood surrounding the studio where The Office is filmed and found the house a mere two miles away.  YAY!

And I am very happy to report that, aside from the address number, the property looks very similar in person as to how it appeared in the “Frame Toby” episode.  Producers very obviously roughed the house up a bit for the filming (i.e. the broken roof gutter, the leaves on the front lawn, and the overgrown foliage), but I am guessing that in the episodes to come, Jim will be shown fixing up the place for Pam.  I can’t say that for certain, though, as I am currently only halfway through Season 5, so I’ve still got some viewing to do before I catch up with the current episodes.  I’ve actually had to considerably slow down my Office-watching habit this past week, though, because I am absolutely DREADING having no more new episodes to watch.  I honestly don’t know what I’ll do with myself when that happens!

  1. Man I wish I had found your site sooner. LOVE The Office and have be to LA a few times and could have gone to these places. Next time I will for sure look at these places! Thank you!!

  2. Yes, office fanatics here … I recently watched all the episodes, then started over, then over, then over … (I have them all) I think I watched all the episodes 4-5 times each within the past 6 months, nuts. I am definitely addicted, lol ! 😉 One of my favorite sitcoms of all times along with SEINFELD of course.

  3. My favorite show ever!
    I too started watching around the 4th Season and got the DVDs and non stop watched every episode til i was caught up!

  4. Yay I’m on the front page!! Can’t wait for the next season to start..
    Also, Lins we all need to go to New York and find Sex & The City sites. I’ve fallen in love with the show!

    1. The next season may be the last. At the very least, it will most likely be the last one without Michael Scott. From what I can tell, Steve Carell has said this will be his final season. Sigh. 🙁
      P.S. Shouldn’t you and Lindsay being holding GIANT lattes in the photo?

  5. Love this post! Thanks for including Melissa’s picture. In an episode when Pam starts working for Michael Scott Paper Compan, Michael goes to pick her up early in the morning and Jim comes to the door, you can see the holes where the number 1 is supposed to be above and below the 3’s on the address. I agree I LOVE this show. This was a great trip and getting to go in the chapel where Pam and Jim were married was a big plus, but the best was getting the “sign” from the Happy Hour episode! Love Office posts hope we can stalk some sites in October…

    1. Lavonna, I just sent you an e-mail that I should have sent earlier. My bad. Better late than never, I guess.
