In the movie, this is identified as the house on Cleveland Street in fictional Hohman, Indiana. The actual house, which is now the Christmas Story House and Museum is located at 3159 W 11th St., Cleveland, Ohio.
About the Wilmington, DE zip code in Fight Club, @tomchick – Recall that the climactic scene is a bombing of the world’s bank offices. Those are basically all in Delaware. I presume any indications that it takes place elsewhere are misleading.
As a point of information, “London Boulevard” is definitely not a generic term like “American street”. If anything, London is notable for its lack of boulevards compared to other major Western European cities like Paris or Barcelona. Technically, a boulevard should be a wide, tree lined road, and neither of those are particularly common in London, let alone together.
