This is actually a fairly recent development, built within the last 10 years. One telltale sign that it's not very old is that the roofline is flat rather than stepping down with the street.
It was done as a condo development (I think the whole row is an addition onto the back of a building fronting Gottingen) and each "unit" is 2 separate stacked units. There are a few other rowhouse/condo developments like this in the area and it's kind of interesting because they very deliberately echo architectural cues from their surroundings and fit in well with the urban form, but the "original" buildings next to them look, though similar, very obviously 100+ years older. Overall it works fairly well, and Gottingen/Agricola as well as the area south of Hydrostone are starting to get the funkier stuff.
There have also been some creative approaches for providing this kind of development/unit within the context of the area's often weird lot shapes/sizes. One example is Theatre Lofts a block or two away:

The area visible through the upper "window" looks like this:
