| Brownstones are prominent in Boston. A brownstone is a terrace or rowhouse in brown or red stone brick. They are sometimes called 'rowhouses' because developers often built a number of identical-looking brownstone units next to each other on the same street. Brownstone buildings are generally older than other types of housing - built mostly in the 1800s, have beautiful architectural detailing, and are located in some of the most desirable neighborhoods of Boston. Most brownstones are between three and five stories tall. | Many Boston mid rises were also built in the 1800s. They feature historic detail and many have an elevator. Most brownstones were originally constructed to be used as single family homes and then later were converted into condominium units. Mid-rises were constructed to be what they are today; four to twelve floor buildings with multiple units. Mid rises tend not to have a "chopped up" feeling and feature practical floor plans with closet space. This may not the case however if the building was originally a hotel and then later converted into residential units. |
