An iconic part of the architecture in Alexandria, Virginia, Spite House is the skinniest historic home in America at a mere seven feet wide and 325 square feet. Typically referred to as an alley house or a tiny house, the home earned its moniker because of the builder’s intentions. Seeking to block loiterers and carriages squeezing their way through the alley next to his house, John Hollensbury built the structure in 1830. A popular tourist attraction, you’ll find it at 523 Queen Street.
