Skinny House

At just over 10 feet wide, this house in Boston's North End really does live up to its name. In fact, it's so narrow that the front door had to be positioned in the side alley. The home, built in 1890, is said to have a similar background to the Spite House. According to Boston folklore, it was allegedly built to obscure a neighboring house's view — the result of a neighborhood spat. Note to the owner: Be sure to bring a tape measure when you go furniture shopping!
