I would call those townhouses, it's probably just a regional thing.

The row houses I'm thinking about are in Philadelphia, and I think most other east coast cities. Occasionally you'll see one with the neighboring house(es) demolished, and there are usually remaining bricks from the missing house on the now exterior wall.

Has anyone built a new rowhouse, like those in Philly, since the end of WWII? Serious question. I don't think they are allowed anywhere in the US anymore. Existing ones are grandfathered in.

I just googled and found new rowhouses, and soon to be built ones in Philly. The style seems to be more modern, but the basic idea is the same.
