I think the correct term is block and tackle. They generally identify former
warehouses, not private homes. A private home wouldn't need to be hauling
stuff up and down so often that they needed to build something like that in.
Block and tackle would be the pulleys & cables that attach to the load
to lift it.
The rail that sticks out of the side of the building is a Jib Crane.
