Not really the rowhomes like you see on James Street. Moreso if you stroll any street in Roseville or Clinton Hill there are usually just a mix of 2-3 story detached wooden houses. The eclecticism vs. uniformity led to criticisms, as did their wood construction. The three-floor tenements were more harshly criticized. In 1913 the city funded a housing study that suggested the city build more detached single family homes instead of higher density housing.
