One way is to use the existing ADDRESS_OBJ values in some other table (e.g., Emp) like this:

SQL>
SQL> CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE addressType as OBJECT(
  2  street VARCHAR2(20),
  3  city VARCHAR2(20),
  4  state CHAR(2),
  5  zip CHAR(5))
  6  /

Type created.

SQL>
SQL> CREATE TABLE emp (empno NUMBER(3),
  2  name VARCHAR2(20),
  3  address addressType)
  4  /

Table created.

SQL>
SQL> INSERT INTO emp VALUES (101, 'Adam',
  2  addressType('1 A St.','Mobile','AL','36608'))
  3
SQL> select * from emp;

no rows selected

SQL>
SQL>
SQL> CREATE TABLE address_table OF addressType;

Table created.

SQL>
SQL>
SQL> INSERT INTO Address_table
  2  SELECT e.address
  3  FROM emp e;

0 rows created.

SQL>
SQL> drop table address_table;

Table dropped.

SQL> drop table emp;

Table dropped.
