Place 9: Eddie Kaspbrak home

1958

No defensible street address is established in the examined passages. This is a proposed position in the residential district, not an identification of a named street.

About Eddie Kaspbrak home

The Eddie Kaspbrak home represents Eddie’s family residence during the 1958 layer of the atlas. Domestic scenes establish the house and its interior life, while Eddie’s movements connect him with the wider residential town and routes leading outward through Derry. None of those passages provides a dependable street address. The mapped house is therefore a deliberately restrained residential marker, useful for understanding Eddie’s place in the group’s daily geography but not presented as a recovered property.

Why this pin is marked C

Proposed. The book leaves a gap; the point is the atlas’s proposal.

The home is marked C because no named street, junction, adjacent site, or reliable distance attaches the residence to the map. Eddie travels on routes that include Witcham, but that does not demonstrate that his house stands on Witcham or even in its immediate corridor. The atlas selects a plausible residential position that keeps his movements workable without turning a route into an address. The coordinate, side of the street, parcel, and building footprint are all interpretive choices.
