Thanks man.

Those houses are "Charleston singles", which is the main local vernacular in housing. The houses are arranged with the gable end facing the street. There is usually a piazza along the side of the house. That is what you see between the buildings. Many of the piazzas have a door facing the street, with entry to the house from the piazza. Singles can range from small workers cottages, all the way to spectacular mansions, as you will see when I post the main Charleston thread during the next few days.
