Classic Architecture of European Townhouses
Narrow townhouses were traditionally built around historic town squares to maximize valuable urban street frontage. These multi-story residences feature ornate gables at the roofline along with decorative facades and arched ground-level entryways. Cobblestone squares outside the front doors serve as public meeting spaces decorated with wooden benches and stone planters.
Intriguing Facts About Historic Town Squares
In medieval towns, property taxes were frequently calculated based on the width of a building's front facade, leading owners to build tall, narrow structures. Ornate roof gables were not just decorative; many housed pulley hooks used to hoist furniture up into top-floor windows. Cobblestones were originally chosen for town squares because round river stones prevented street mud and could be reused endlessly.
