Skinny House, Narrow residential building in Rose Park, Long Beach, United States.
The Skinny House at 708 Gladys Avenue spans three stories within a 10-foot-wide lot, containing 860 square feet of living space over multiple levels.
Newton P. Rummonds constructed this house in 1932 after receiving the small plot of land as payment for a 100-dollar loan during the Great Depression.
The structure received recognition from both the Guinness Book of World Records and Ripley's Believe It or Not for its status as the narrowest house in America.
The house underwent structural repairs in 1959 when engineers discovered it leaned four inches to the north, requiring installation of support girders.
From 1977 to 1981, public interest lawyer William John Cox operated his law practice from this narrow residence while handling notable legal cases.
