common houses
Ordinary residential buildings
Common houses are dwellings of ordinary or unremarkable character, as distinguished from mansions, palaces, or architecturally significant buildings.
The phrase emphasizes typicality rather than distinction: The neighborhood consisted of common houses with small yards.
In British parliamentary context, the Commons (or House of Commons) is the elected lower chamber, representing common people rather than nobility.
