Row houses were very popular in Washington, D. C. and in Baltimore, Maryland. The houses line the side of the street with no roon in between them. The side walls of the houses are right up against the neighbors. There are no windows on the sides of these houses as a result. There is an alleyway behind to provide acces to the back doors. Sometimes there is a back yard, maybe a detached garage. Dumbell tenements are found in New York City and take their name from the footprint of the building. Previous to an 1879 law tenements were built like row houses, with side walls adjoining, no space in between, and no windows on the sides. (These usually were apartments called "shotgun flats", with no hallway - to get from the front to the back you wnet through each room, meaning there was a minimum of privacy). The 1879 New York City law required windows on the side, which requirement builders met by providing airshafts. So these buildings are wide across the front and the back, and butt up against their neighboring structure, but are wasp-waisted in the middle, pinched in to allow the airshaft, and possibly a breath of air, to reach inside. The airshaft is of course also a convenient place to dump garbage. The Lower East Side of New York City contains hundreds of dumbell tenements.
