More from Cincinnati...
Most of the original 1830s-1850s row houses in Cincinnati's basin were torn down and replaced with 3-5 story NYC-style buildings like this in the 1860s-1880s. They often go all the way to the rear lot line, meaning there were often at least 2 units per floor. So a 4-story building on a 20x90 lot might have 8 ore more units:
Pretty basic worker housing from the 1850s or thereabouts...this is an example of what was usually torn down and replaced with something bigger:

These sorts of rows are from around 1900-1915, so the style is a bit different:

My house is in this photo...as you can see everything here was built from around 1890 to 1920, except for the all-brick 20-unit at center-right that might date from 1930. The rock cuts you see at left and bottom right were where all of the stone foundations for the downtown came from. Most of the "new" houses in this area, including mine, ironically have concrete foundations despite being located on the site of the foundation rock quarry!
