About 127 Lower Main Street
127 Lower Main Street is the apartment house where Beverly Marsh lives during the childhood period and the address she revisits in 1985. It is an urban residential building on Lower Main rather than a detached house, and its repeated use connects two of the atlas’s principal time layers. The marker identifies the address within the reconstructed lower-town street grid; the building footprint represents the apartment-house type without claiming a documented facade or floor plan.
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 address is marked A because the number 127, Lower Main Street, and the apartment-house form are all explicit. This is unusually strong evidence for a fictional Derry residence and fixes the feature to a named street more closely than a route-based inference would. The atlas still has to reconstruct Lower Main’s block lengths, the numbering sequence, the side of the street, and the precise parcel. Confidence A anchors the address relationship, not the exact coordinate or drawn building dimensions.
