I would have ventured that it is much older than that, dimly recalling some 
older maps from a small museum I once visited.

There's a difference between house numbers and street addresses. House 
numbers, which number every house in a city or village starting at 1 are 
the older system and I have been in places where these house numbers have 
been maintained (although perhaps no longer used for postal delivery).
