The narrowest house in the U.S.A.
It's the blue one above.
The house was awarded this title by "Ripley's Believe it or Not."
It's in Alexandria, Virginia, outside Washington, D.C.
The tiny dwelling is seven feet wide.
It consists of a total of 350 square feet, and has two stories.
The inside walls are the exterior brick walls of the two adjacent houses.
The owner, Jack Sammis, bought it on impulse in 1990 on the very same day he saw a classified ad for it in the paper announcing it was for sale.
Here's Brigid Schulte's article about the wee home, from this past Monday's Washington Post.

There is a very blue collar issue tiny green house on Jefferson Street in Hyattsville between Route One and 42nd Street, across from the elementary school.
Until the mid 90s, very large laundry items hung in the pocket-kerchief sized side yard.
