Teeny tiny houses

Charles Gessford’s houses at 1337-1353 C St. NE were built in 1886. These one-story brick houses, 11 feet wide, were designed and built by Gessford for the rental market. They are two bays wide (a door and a window), with stepped cornices and jack arches. Nearby are other small houses, 12 and 13 feet wide, built in approximately the same time frame.

I found pictures of the interior of one of them (the one with the "green eyebrows") http://www.redfin.com/DC/Washington/1345-C-St-NE-20002/home/9913771 -- pretty tiny at 407 square feet!

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by Pbase are decidedly unsharp.

They look much attractive than today's 'shoebox' apartments.

The varying paint jobs make them very attractive. I like the ones with the green eyebrows.

I love this, we have a lot of these houses in many of our old cities.
