It does look like Roman numerals, but the 1890 map shows it as Ridge View. I can make out the "View" bit of the sign now that I know what it's supposed to say.

Yeah this one bugged me so i went to have a look and it does say ridge view. Is that a house name or an old street name ? However it bears striking resemblance to another sign not a million miles away i mean the colour lettering brick work is all identical this one says Oriental Terracehttp://goo.gl/maps/z98mk
