Priced out

I have a question about that and the other houses on that street - it appears that the rooflines are different on each of the houses, do they in fact share a party wall on the second floors, or are they just built abutting each other?

That's a good question. Given the age of the houses in Spring Garden, it's highly they were probably built separately. Frame houses were often built duplex style, but true rows are relatively rare. Instead you'd just see individually built houses which directly abutted one another.

Yeah, and I wasn't sure about the accessway to the backs of the houses - I am more familiar with brick rows, though not with an accessway like those.
Back a million years ago I lived in a 3 house row in Lawrencville, but I think the one house had been built earlier (or so I was told) and the one I lived in and the one is the middle had party walls, but the first one had two layers of brick between the two. I never knew any of the people who lived there, so I didn't know if they heard the neighbors yelling like we did!
