(1) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Townhouse (2) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Townhouse_%28Great_Britain%29 (3) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seat_of_local_government And Wikipedia has problems too: (1) points to http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petit_h%C3%B4tel in Spanisch, which is in reality the equivalent of (2) We should not use it in OSM to avoid ambiguity The term Terraced Houses seems to be established.
