A dwelling built as one unit in a continuous row of attached houses sharing party walls, known regionally as a row house, rowhouse, terraced house or terrace house, a residential building type defined by its attached, repeated urban form rather than by any single architect's design intent or historic single-family ownership. This group gathers residential entries whose own recorded description identifies them this way, distinguishing the type from a freestanding cottage, villa, manor house or purpose-built apartment building even where a particular row is itself historically or architecturally notable enough to carry its own listing.
