This tag can be used to map the individual units in a row of houses that form a [W] terrace. These are known as "rowhouses" or "townhouses" in North American English.

This is preferred by some contributors to have one object per house rather than a a less-detailed option mapping the whole terrace as building=terrace.

How to map

Draw an area area for each unit in the terrace, ensuring they have at least two nodes connecting the units together.
