Reviews of Skinny House (Spite House) Boston, MA
"A unique piece of architecture that is a cool site to visit if you have time and are exploring Boston. If you are walking the Freedom Trail it is worth a short detour to have a look at."
"You cannot experience it because it’s private property now. However, you can see through the walk way between the buildings. Personally, it was not “skinny” enough, I had “skinnier” experience before! It was interesting though!"
"Interesting landmark/tourist attraction in Boston's North End that I did not know existed until today. It is a short walk from the North End and is across from Copp's Hill Burying Ground, which also connects to the Freedom Trail, so you have probably passed by this house before if you have done the tour. The street that the house is located on is just as skinny. I believe someone actually lives inside this house now, so you cannot go inside."
"It’s a destination that you can’t go in but it’s across from Copps Hill Burial Grounds. It’s definitely a unique building as you can see everyone built around it"
