While Harper Lee (the author) gives specific locations for many of the houses on Jem and Scout's street in Chapter 1 of To Kill a Mockingbird, we do not get a direct location for Ms. Crawford's house. We know that she lives on their street, and that the neighborhood where Jem and Scout are allowed to play is bound by Mrs. Dubose's house two doors north and the Radleys' house two doors to the south. We know that Rachel Haverford lives next door to Jem and Scout and Ms. Maudie lives across the street. As Ms. Crawford, the town gossip, claims that Boo Radley has stared at her from inside his home, we assume that Ms. Crawford must live either next to, or across the street from, the Radley place.
