When I read this it took me a few moments to understand what was notable
about it, even given the context of no numerical subdivision. I suppose
I'm overexposed working in the Irish post office ;)

A few weeks ago I saw what's probably one of the shortest meaningful
non-box-number addresses:

Scribes,
Dingle.

(No county needed since Dingle is large enough to expect people to know
it's in Co. Kerry)
