Just a friendly advice you definitely need to specify a country or region to get a specific answer, as a non-historian I have some information for 2 places. Just to give you some insight though, there is no universal worldwide standard (e.g. postcodes in UK use letters in germany and usa they never do. The DIN 5008 standard in germany was introduced in 1949) and there are still areas that don't have house numbers (famously today still parts of beruit). I am guessing you are looking for something further back like, when did the romans start giving house numbers italy?
