Looking at the wiki page for the Karlsruhe schema, the house number can also contain a house name. So, you could put "26 Addison Terrace" in as the house number, although it would look a bit messily to have an entire terrace rendered this way unless the renderer had some rules to handle repeated text. -- John F.
