About Denbrough house
The Denbrough house is the family home of Bill and Georgie in the upper part of Derry. It belongs to the uphill stretch of Witcham Street, near the top of the rise and above the Jackson Street junction. The atlas associates Georgie’s room and Zack Denbrough’s workshop with this property. It represents the household as it appears during the 1957–58 period, while avoiding an invented street number, lot plan, or architectural design.
Why this pin is marked A
Named in the novel. The street or the site is named in the text; the exact lot is the atlas’s.
The house is marked A because the source identifies upper Witcham Street and a hilltop setting. The sequence along Witcham also places Georgie’s storm drain farther down the slope, before the Jackson intersection. Those relationships identify the correct street corridor but not a cadastral parcel. The marker therefore indicates a reconstructed position along upper Witcham; the precise address, side of the street, building orientation, and separate location of Zack’s workshop remain unknown.
