About 73 Charter Street
The house at 73 Charter Street is home to Eddie and Dorsey Corcoran and the Macklin household in 1957–58. Charter Street also borders the elementary-school playground, placing the address within the school neighbourhood rather than on Derry’s outer roads. The property is an important domestic point in the Corcoran family history and a fixed address within a broader route. Its mapped house and lot provide residential context without attempting to reproduce an undocumented structure.
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.
This place receives level A because the street number is explicit and Charter Street has an independent relationship to the school grounds. Together they establish a definite address corridor. The atlas still has to choose where number 73 falls along the reconstructed street, since numbering order, block, side and neighbouring parcels are not given. The point is offset as a plausible house plot; its footprint, setback and orientation are illustrative rather than canonical.
