What do you call these houses in English?

Sul Sul everyone!
Could you tell me what these houses are called in English? I would like to share them in the gallery and therefore I need the right name. Or simply: How would you name this lot? In German this type of building is called "Pfahlhäuser" or "Pfahlbauten" (from the stone age).

Edit: Somehow I can't post pictures here anymore... anyone know why? :(

    Now we know where you are from @Stormkeep !

    (It would be quite typical Midwestern behavior to say that your own region's way of speaking is "made-up", instead of defending it to the heavens)

    @Oldeseadogge, Yah, I've since learned that the term is specific to a small area in Wisconsin (where I am from) and the North East coast.

    Maybe the Wisconsin folks originally came from the northeast. I read somewhere ages ago that speech patterns migrated west as the country expanded. Other than Maine's 'Down East', which stayed where it was. Wouldn't explain bubbler, though.
