Narrowest House

Across the street from Copp's Hill Burying Ground, this is Boston’s narrowest house, measuring a whopping 9.5ft wide. Sometimes called a ‘spite house,’ the four-story, c 1800 edifice was reportedly built to block light from the neighbor’s house and to obliterate the view of the house behind it.
