ELI5:If a store is on the corner of the street, how do they determine the address?
gpt
The address is given by the street the front door/main entrance faces, as a rule of thumb. Sometimes, especially for large complexes (malls, office buildings) the address is where the main entrance/driveway is, not where the front door faces. 

Think of it as the road you'd have to be on in order to access the building. Same rules apply for residential buildings. There are exceptions, especially in cases where roads/buildings/parking lots have been changed or don't comply with rules.
