The Hollensbury Spite House is a spite house located at 523 Queen Street in Alexandria, Virginia. The narrow building measures 7-feet 6-inches (2.3 m) wide and is often called the skinniest house in the United States. The house has drawn international attention, being covered by numerous news outlets, and was once featured on The Oprah Winfrey Show. It is frequently visited by tourists who often pose in front of the building and is also included on local history tours. The house is 350 square-feet (32.5 sq m) but also includes an outdoor patio and garden, providing additional entertaining space. Because of its narrow front door and small interior space, the house is decorated with smaller furniture pieces and antiques.

The building's namesake, John Hollensbury, reportedly built the house in 1830 to stop people loitering in the alley adjoining his house and to prevent wagon-wheel hubs from damaging the house's exterior walls.
 
There’s one of these in Boston too but I can’t remember what it’s called.

Here's one in the Netherlands. Amsterdam is the narrow house capital of Europe. :) It's that thin little sliver of a building in the middle.

Why is it that every time I see something on the news here from Florida, it's something crazy. :) I like Florida, it seems warm and interesting.
Florida lacks the usual discretion in reporting on possible crimes, and crazy people don't usually freeze to death.
