BR is an empty element - it renders as a linebreak. All you can change
in your example is line-height for the address element to put
whitespace between the lines.
CSS always allows you to style what is INSIDE the element you define,
which is why in order to do anything to your example you'd need to add
elements around the different parts of code.
If you use clever elements and class names, you do even more:
<address class="vcard">
<span class="organization-name">Someone's College</span>
<span class="street-address>800 West University Parkway</span>
<span class="locality">Sometown, Somestate 12345</span>
</address>
You can then define .adr span {display:block;} and go nuts. In case
you wonder about the class names: http://microformats.org/wiki/hcard
