Yeah but they don’t go around the whole perimeter. There’s little to no brickwork in the front of most of these houses. They switch to wood for porches and doors and windows. My grandparent’s owned a row home like the ones you see here. It burned down because some homeless people were using a propane heater in the abandoned house next door. It blew up and half the block almost burned down. If the fire burns long enough to wrap around the walls everything on the inside is done for. You get these hollow husks.
Fun fact if someone want’s to own a house and it’s burning down that wont stop them from buying it. I watched my Mom get into a bidding war as her childhood home burned down. The day of the fire my Mom was actually selling the house. The neighbor who wanted to buy it, who’s own house also suffered fire damage and a law firm who wanted to buy the whole block got wind of the fire and started harassing my Mom as the fire hoses were still pouring water into it. One of the most surreal days of my life.
