To connect to an "old"-Style table there must be a model of the objects 
in that table. For some of the tables from the core there are models 
available in /sysext/extbase/Classes/Domain/Model. For example there is 
a file FrontendUser.php for the model for fe_users.

For third party data such as tt_address, you can make your own model. In 
the git version of tt_address I just found that there is already a model 
TYPO3\TtAddress\Domain\Model\Address .

In the extension builder you can set which table to use with "Map to 
existing table". If this doesn't work completely you can adjust or set 
the mapping yourself in the TypoScript configuration.

persistence {
   classes {
     Vendor\Package\Domain\Model\Address {
       newRecordStoragePid = nn
       mapping {
         tableName = tt_address
         columns {
           first_name.mapOnProperty = firstName

and so on...

There is a great book by Patrick Lobacher that can help you a lot with 
building extensions with Extbase:
