In my younger days,we had row houses.They were all in a row and all looked the same. as in mill hill houses.The mills would build houses and rent them to the mill workers.There is an old saying "I owe my soul to the company store" this also came from the mill hill villages where the mills owned the houses,stores,everything!!
ADDED: As a Transatlantic difference, if these what I think they are - all joined into a long, single building - in the UK they are called "terraced" houses. Although an 18C concept they did become particularly associated with 19C industrial (not just mill) towns, but a lot of modern housing developments now are of terraced form.
The "company store" ethos was used in Britain too, but its inherent unfairness led to its legal abolishment under a 19C law I think called the "Truck Acts".
The "home row" of a keyboard is called as such because, when typing correctly, it is the default position for the fingers to return to when they're not busy typing. In proper typing, your fingers should start on the "home row" (a, s, d, f, j, k, l, ;) and reach for the other keys; they should never have to reach for the keys on the home row.
When you type in the manner normally prescribed by typing teachers, you are supposed to keep your fingers on these keys while they are at rest. Since you only move your fingers from these keys temporarily to hit the other keys, and then fingers return to this row, the row is like a home for your fingers. Because the row is like a home, it is called the "home row."
It is the row of keys that you put your fingers on when you type.
No, the home row is the center row, made up of a, s, d, f, keys. the QWERTY row is above the home row.
why is it called the home row
The home row on a QWERTY keyboard is the middle row of letters. When a person is learning to type, she or he is taught to keep the fingers close to home. The home row is ASDFJKL;.
what is the purpose of home row keys
If your talking fourth row counting the F1, F2,etc down from the top, that fourth row is called home row. The F key and J key are where your two index fingers go. If you take a typing class you will learn to memorize the keys.
These keys are often referred to as the home row on the keyboard.
Any letter can be typed on the keyboard.
a horizontal row is called a period.a vertical row is called a group

the home row keys are asdf jkl; right? if you type the home row keys, actually there is no function. type the home row keys and then just go. you start at the home row keys and use the bump keys, f and j to find the other letters
