Wow. I really hope these skinny house pics don’t give my (normal size) apartment a complex. Some astounding photos of what you can do with limited width at the weburbanist. Link thanks to Winslow Cyrus Taft, III.

  1. It must really be annoying to live in a house like that with more than two or three people. But they look very interesting! :)

  2. Zillow.com has a link for unique houses (from the front page, it’s on the lower right-hand side.)

    They’re all pretty cool, but the “Spite House” and the “Skinny House” and both really, really thin and have interesting stories. Quoting from the site:

    “Spite House
    According to local legend in Alameda, California, a man sold a small parcel of land adjacent to his house, thinking it was too small to build on. Unfortunately for him, the buyer turned out to be a carpenter who indeed began building on the site. Perhaps spurred on by the protests of the homeowner, the carpenter finished what would come to be known as the Spite House in 1890. Eventually, the Spite House was bought by the owner of the larger house and a connecting passageway was built between the two homes. “

  3. The Flatiron building in NY is really narrow at one end. See the website attached for some info and pictures.
