Narrowest House in the World

Amsterdam, Netherlands (NL)

The narrowest house in the world is to be found in Amsterdam, on the Singel, no.7. Only one metre in breadth, it is barely wider than the front door. Naturally the people who live there have to be slim! However to be honest it is only the front of the house that is so narrow. Behind this facade the house broadens out to more normal dimensions.

If the rest of the house is of normal width, then I have to disagree with this house's claim to be the narrowest.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: "A house said to be the narrowest in the world — only one meter wide! (admittedly, this is the back of the house; the front is quite a bit wider), at Singel 7."
