I once lived in a house like that, sortof. Small apartments in an old house (7 of them)
But they were in terrible condition.
The house actually got condemned shortly after I moved out. Its going to be one of the only historical buildings on that street to be torn down because its in such bad shape and the foundation is a wreck that no one wants to pay for fixing it.
Not even the historical society locally. Its probably going to fall down before they get around to it though because tearing down historical buildings is always nightmarish.
