      Corporation terraced houses. A lot of them were built in the 30s upwards.

      Far as I am aware and I stand to be corrected, it’s the standard template of house design for council houses that the giv issued at some stage, prop 60s.

      The noticeable feature is the windows going up to or very close to the eaves.

      I bought it for 70k but I won’t sell it for less than 700k
      It’s called inflation look it up, also go back to your country

      Those are just generic late 1960s-early 1970s social housing. Most estates in the construction boom of the 70s were built off a small range of designs, so I can go all over the country and see houses that look exactly like my parents’ house. But houses for private sale were more likely to be semi detached rather than the cheaper terrace built houses in your picture.

      The 70s era social houses were sold off in the 90s (a very short sighted move). Depending on the area and how much money the residents would have had, there might have been more or fewer changes made, which is why some of them have added porches. It’s also why I’m out estate there’s a mixture of walls and hedges used to divide front gardens (the estates were usually built without much division between front gardens and wooden fencing dividing the back gardens).

      Before the 60s and after the 70s the economy was depressed and there was much less residential building going on. The next boom was the late 90s – early 00s. So you can usually look at a housing estate and have a pretty good guess of when it was built.

      It’s been years since this was actually a topic of discussion I had when in school but Terraced was the correct term if my memory isn’t skewed.

      These are all corporation houses built from the 30s to the 70s. I’m a big nerd on council estates and I can say that for sure. The last photo you provided shows the earlier style of corporation house (2 front windows). The design would evolve over time. The others are from the 50s to the 70s. All of these are corporation architecture. They are definitely Dublin, as the further you go into the countryside, the more you see that every local authority has its own sort of style. (For example, cabra in Dublin would be the closest architectural equivalent to ballinacura Weston in Limerick). But yeah, it’s personally my favourite style of architecture here and I’ve always thought it has a charm to it.

      Believe image 4 is what is specifically called a “two-up, two-down” style terraced house.

      I think calling it architecture is a bit much. It’s like a childs drawing of what a house looks like

      Going against the grain here, terraced houses are awesome. They give you very dense housing, while still being a single family home. You could even have a garden and still be dense enough for a walkable neighbourhood. A lot of the examples you’ve shown also have off street parking!

      We should be building fucktonnes of terraced homes like this in every town and city, maybe even making them modular or prefabbed to fire up as many as humanly possible. Bonus points if you put in shop space in a few of them.

      Bog standard terraced housing from the 1940/50/60/70s. They were built all over the country and weren’t specifically council houses. My grandparents bought a new build house at the end of a row that looks just like those ones back in the early 50s. My parents live there now. There were a few council houses in the mix, but it was a mostly privately owned estate.
