Now, consider that in that city one does go by street numbers but by building names. As we did for a very long time and many still do. So our building is named by the City Registry "Innovation House" - and if a day it is scrapped and rebuilt eleswhere everyone will keep calling it (the new) "Innovation House" (like for Scotland Yard for example). Now, the Room 125 is in "Innovation House" on _both_ streets. Obviously the zip code is not changed.

Your analogy breaks here on the assumption that this is, and indeed needs, to be true for anything but a small number of highly specialized service addresses. A company can change address.

As as a minor aside, whilst "Scotland Yard, London", will probably arrive at the HQ of the Met, their building is "New Scotland Yard". Also, my parents happen to have a house which is formally on two streets, both under two numbers, and indeed has multiple postcodes. (Four, I think).
