Humleby
Humleby (lit. "Hops Town") is an enclave of terraced houses situated next to the Carlsberg area in the Vesterbro district of Copenhagen, Denmark. They were built between 1885 and 1891 by the Worker's Building Society to provide healthy housing for the workers at Burmeister & Wain.
Jerichausgade, a side street to Ny Carlsberg Vej
The area consists of 235 three storey houses. They were designed by Frederik Bøttger, the architect of the Building Society, who was inspired by English working-class housing.[1]

gollark: Cool idea if I do this: make one simple, fairly easy to guess regex, and then tack 58 random special cases on the end.
gollark: It's not a DFA, it uses a GTech™ regex turing machine to implement Macron to do this.
