Hi,

Neil Chambers here. Just browsing.

I would not recommend Roman numerals for a house.

The number 4 would suffice.

Al the best,

It's Yipper - ignore him.

4 in Roman numerals is conventionally IIII. I think that's fine - the thickest person should be able to work that one out. If you like it, do it.

Putting Roman numerals on a house with a number is much less pretentious than calling a house a name when it already has a number.

Oh, Neil Chambers has given his opinion? Ignore what I just said. Use 4. It's sufficient.

No, it's conventionally IV. It's mostly clock faces that use IIII - but they stick with IX, rather than VIIII for some odd reason.
