But as i just showed, some of the rowhouses in the old 19th century row have parking off the alley in back as well.

so to know if something is a "rowhouse" or a "townhouse", we first have to know if there is off-street parking off the alley in back?

and so some units in a given row can be either one or the other, based solely on the presence of parking in the back?
