Is the name of this street "1607 Twenty-eighth Street?" what does that "1607"mean? Twelve minutes after leaving the Hill the Mercedes skidded against the curb outside 1607 Twenty-eighth Street, and the Senator, searching his house for his wife, learned from a maid that she was having her hair done.

1607 is the number of the building. In England we do things differently but I think in America it means building 7 on Block 16, or maybe the other way around!

Streets are long, and usually numbered odd on one side, even on the other. 1607 is the lot or house or building number , so there seem to be more than 800 sections or buildings on each side of 28th street
