rowhouses

Joined urban dwellings

Rowhouses are a series of attached houses sharing side walls, built in a continuous line along a street.

Each unit has its own entrance and typically spans multiple floors.

The style is characteristic of older American cities like Philadelphia and Baltimore, and of British cities where they're called terraced houses: blocks of brick rowhouses lined the neighborhood.
