About Derry Home Hospital
Derry Home Hospital is a riverside medical complex present in both the childhood and adult periods. The Penobscot runs behind the hospital, giving the institution a strong landscape relationship even though no street address is known. By 1985 the original three-storey wood-frame hospital survives within a much larger modern complex. The atlas represents that growth as a layered civic site, preserving the older building while allowing the hospital grounds to expand toward a broader institutional campus.
Why this pin is marked B
Inferred. Worked out from routes, distances and what stands next to it.
The hospital is marked B because the river relationship is explicit but the urban approach is not. Placing the Penobscot behind the hospital confines the site to a plausible riverside corridor, and the survival of the old building within a larger 1985 complex establishes continuity at one location. The evidence does not give a street, distance from downtown, bank orientation, exact setback, campus boundary, or building arrangement. The chosen riverside point and expanded footprint are therefore a spatial inference rather than an address-level placement.
