At seven feet wide, this house on Queen Street is the skinniest in Alexandria. It was originally built in 1830 as a spite house: a dwelling constructed to block bothersome traffic through an alleyway.
The home, which has two stories and boasts a 345 foot living space, was bought for $135,000 in 1990.
There’s an article about it in the Washington Post here.

Thank you for posting this. I saw a TV show awhile back that featured this home and I was curious about it. In the TV show it said that on the walls there are still gouges from the buggies/carts scraping by as they passed through. Very interesting.

Is that an armchair sitting outside the door on the pavement?
