House Numbers |

 | If it weren’t for house numbers, how would anyone know where to find you? Back when America was being settled, largely by the British, there was no mail system. People who immigrated often never heard of their families again unless someone else from their birthplace also immigrated and they chanced to meet.
Eventually, settlements in America grew large enough to qualify as towns, and then cities. They followed the European pattern of naming their streets, and a rudimentary communication system was only established if you could find a willing sea captain (hopefully one who was literate), that would carry a letter from England to America or vice versa, addressed solely to Samuel Smith, Oak Street, Lumbertown. As centers of population grew larger, letters would sometimes be addressed with reference to cross streets, such as Samuel Smith, Oak Street east of Bayside Street.
