Ah, I see. What rooms are there, what can they work with, and play around with the placement? Beside the master bedroom and the lounge room (is this the living room?) there must be a kitchen and a bathroom, maybe a couple more rooms for kids. Would those be better at the front? Maybe the kitchen and dining room are okay there, but the others, not sure.
What puzzles me about those houses (and the ones I see in American movies and shows) that only the rich have fences. Here it's default.

I get it why it reminds you the long houses. Additional info: in their prime they used abode to build them and it was very easy to just add new rooms toward the back (as a family grew) and break/cut doors onto the walls. So they could be even longer. But that's depended on the plot they were on, if there was enough space, they could add rooms in other directions make the house L shaped, or even U, with a court in the middle.

Was their experience that much different than other folks? Jews lived in enclaves in the Old Continent but in America the various diasporas, from Eastern Europe, but from the west like Italy and Ireland too, got into similar circumstances.
