Dáithí, that group of stories IS after 1947-- military service, not the 12-year-old child of WWII.

Yes, Mo, there are LOTS of pictures of terrace houses of the past and today, attached. The dollhouse is just one of the dweelings in what would have been a row.

In the US we call these "townhouses" or "townhomes," if suburban, or "row houses" if urban.

Must say, out of all the links I found, that BBC section of children in WWII was stunning.
