Meredith’s House from “The Office”

Another location from the Season 7 episode of The Office titled “Michael’s Last Dundies” that fellow stalker Owen tracked down recently was the supposed Scranton, Pennsylvania-area dwelling belonging to the series’ resident alcoholic/hussy/all-around slob Meredith Palmer (aka Kate Flannery), which just so happened to be the locale that I was most interested in stalking!  Owen had spotted an address number of “14142” on the roof above Meredith’s porch while watching the episode and figured that the property had to be located in close proximity to Toby’s house, which I blogged about yesterday.  And he was right!  He ended up finding the place just two and a half blocks west of Toby’s abode.  So, I dragged the Grim Cheaper right on over to stalk the place, just a few minutes after visiting Toby’s house, two weekends ago.

In the “Michael’s Last Dundies” episode of The Office, Michael Scott (aka Steve Carell) and new manager-in-training Deangelo Vickers (aka Will Ferrell) drop by Meredith’s house at six o’clock in the morning while out delivering the Dundie Award nomination certificates.  Upon first approaching the dilapidated property, Michael says, “I’ve never seen this place in the daylight!”, to which Deangelo replies, “This reminds me of Katrina!”  LOL LOL LOL 

When they arrive at Meredith’s front door, they find it not only unlocked, but ajar.

A few seconds later, Meredith comes meandering up the driveway, shoes in hand, and exclaims, “I’m so busted!  Walk of shame!”  She then invites Michael and Deangelo inside for breakfast, saying, “I have Vienna sausages and I have . . . napkins.”  LOL  When Deangelo announces, “I’m not going in there!”, Michael shuts the door quietly and the two sneak off the property.  It should come as no surprise to regular viewers of the series that Meredith goes on to win the “Best Mom” Dundie award later that night.  LOL

Before arriving at Meredith’s house, I had no idea what on earth to expect as I was not sure if the property had been dressed to appear run-down onscreen or if it actually looked that way in real life.  Well, as you can see in the above photographs, amazingly enough, the house looks just as bad in person as it did onscreen, if not worse!  When I emailed the above-pictured photographs to fellow stalker/Office aficionado Lavonna, she immediately wrote back asking, “So the house just looks like that?????  I thought it had been decorated for the filming!!!!”  LOL  The Office location scouts must have been beyond ELATED upon discovering the residence and realizing that they would not have to change ANYTHING prior to filming.  As Chelsea Handler would say, “Nailed it!”       

While there, I, of course, just had to reenact Meredith’s walk of shame by posing with my shoes in my hand.   

Big THANK YOU to fellow stalker Owen for finding this location! 

Until next time, Happy Stalking!
