About

This tiny blue house in Old Town is only 7½ feet wide and was built in 1830 to fill what had been an alley. According to local legend, the owner was tired of people loitering there and horse-drawn wagons scraping his house, so he built a house in the way. It’s a private residence, so this is a quick look-from-the-sidewalk stop.
