Originating in Worcester, this quickly became a staple of Boston residential architecture: a narrow, three-story house, in which each floor is a separate apartment. Sometimes also called "triple decker."
In Dorchester, they'll tell you that "triple decker" is a Yuppie affectation; but in Winthrop, that's what everybody calls them.

OK, only yuppies, suburbanites and out-of-town reporters call them "triple deckers." If you want to sound OFD, say "three-decker."
