terraced house
Shared-wall urban home
A terraced house is a dwelling in a row of houses sharing side walls with neighbors, forming a continuous block.
The term is primarily British; Americans say row house or townhouse.
Terraced houses became common in 19th-century industrial cities as affordable urban housing: The street was lined with Victorian terraced houses.
