This is called a Shotgun house. In the early days (before the government caught on) houses were only taxed on the street frontage. So people built long skinny houses with doors that led from room to room - no hallways. They were nicknamed shotgun because you could shoot a shotgun at the front door all the way through without hitting anything.
