If you zoom in on Google map you'll see not only N3910 and N 180 given... But also Hickory Street. Not uncommon to have several names for the same road.

Also that 1932 build date is way off... That's a ca. 1900 pinned bedstead.

Around here that road is always called N180, where does the E3910 number come from?
