The Spite House (in blue), built in 1830, is 7 feet wide, about 25 feet deep and a whopping 325 square feet in two stories. It is located on Queen Street in the Old Town district in Alexandria, Va. The builder of this 1830 home in Old Town Alexandria wasn’t trying to keep up with the Joneses. In fact, he constructed what may be the narrowest house in the country, at just 7 feet wide. The purpose? To keep loiterers from entering his alley, hence the name. The tiny abode has attracted considerable attention, even being featured on “The Oprah Winfrey Show.” But the curious can’t go inside, because people actually live there. 523 Queen St., Alexandria, Va.

7’ wide and built out of spite, this tiny blue home is the skinniest house in America and is sandwiched between two larger townhouses. See it at 523 Queen St.

Quite literally built out of spite by a salty house owner. This tiny house is a popular sight within Old Town and is only a short walk away.
