In Richmond, VA, there is a historic building which at present is owned by the Black History Museum. It is 00 Clay Street. That's two zeros. It's the coolest address I know of.

- madcaptenor 3y agoThis one is confusing because it’s on the odd side of the street - 00 is clearly acting as minus 1.
- SeanLuke 3y agoNo, the house on to the left is 1 East Clay street, and the house on the right is 1 West Clay Street. Directly across from 00 Clay Street is a street. On either side of that street are 2 East and 2 West respectively. 00 is the only house not on East nor West Clay Street, but just Clay Street. It's at the origin.
- madcaptenor 3y agoThis is a better explanation of it. Thanks!
