Welcome to my Row House portrait gallery.
Many American cities have neighborhoods distinct for their historic row homes — Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York City, Washington DC, San Francisco, just to name a few! Row homes are usually single family homes set shoulder to shoulder alongside other row homes, filling a city block. Oftentimes, you will find that the share a roofline, an architectural style, or a common wall. Sometimes you’ll even see identical row houses from one end of a street to another. Originally, in the late-1800s to early-1900s, row homes offered an affordable alternative to families who wanted to live in the city, rather than the suburbs. Nowadays, they are very popular homes in the most desirable neighborhoods. I love the cohesiveness of a neighborhood populated by row homes. Below, I share some of my favorites.
