Leinster House, 18th century Dublin townhouse of the Duke of Leinster. It is now the seat of parliament Historically in the United Kingdom, Ireland and in some other countries, a townhouse (or a "house in town") was a residence of a peer or member of the aristocracy in the capital or major city. Most such figures owned one or more country houses in which they lived for much of the year. However during the Social Season (when major balls and drawing rooms took place), and when parliament was in session, peers and the servants moved to live in their townhouse in the capital. In North America, the term "townhouse" is used exclusively to refer to terrace housing.
United Kingdom and IrelandHenrietta Street, the street contains some of the oldest and largest georgian townhouses in Dublin. All were converted into tenements in the 19th century.
Many aristocratic townshouses were demolished or ceased to be used for residential purposes following the First World War. In the post World War II period large terraced houses in general in London and other British cities were divided into flats or converted into offices. However, in the early 21st century this trend is being reversed to some extent, as there is less demand for old houses as offices nowadays since open plan layouts are preferred, and the number of very rich people in London has risen. For example, in 2004, the Grosvenor Group sold two grand terraces houses in Belgrave Square which had been in office use, for reconversion to family houses. The asking price was £12 million each. Nowadays British property developers and estate agents often call new terraced houses townhouses, probably because the aristocratic pedigree of terraced housing is widely forgotten, and for many people the main mental association of terraced housing is with working class terraced housing, especially in poor districts in the north of England. "Townhouse" still has more exclusive connotations. Canada and United StatesTownouses and townhomes are also popular in Canada and the United States as cheaper alternatives to houses. In major metropolitan areas of the United States however, the ownership of a townhouse connotates wealth. Some examples of cities where townhouses are occupied almost exclusively by the wealthy are New York, Boston, and San Francisco where land is at a premium. Townhomes usually consist of non-uniform units designed to mimic detached homes when located in a suburban setting. In Canada, and especially in Ontario, townhouses are spilt into two categories:
