1st, the garages aren't attached, they are detached garages on the alley, just like the detached garages from the contemporary attached houses i initially posted on the last page. the ones that you said were "townhouses" because they had detached garages. if those are "townhouses" for that reason, then so are these.

2nd, the garages on the alley look original to me. late 19th/early 20th century chicago common brick. definitely not a '60s add-on.
