Very Small House.
THE CURIOUS RESIDENCE THAT Is BEING
BUILT ON STREET

BUILT ON STREET
A very notable residence Is now being built
on the south side of h street, just west from
1lth street, which has the distinction of being
one OF the smallest, if not the smallest house
in the city. 1t is built adjoining the two-sfo-y
house of Mr.. NcDanielS, and has q front similar
IN design 10 the neighboring house. The 'front.'
however. only measures sIN feet eight inches i'm
ne Clear; but in this apparently insufficient
frontage room las been found tor "A front ooor
OF the usual width, with u window az the side
which Il about eighteen inches wide The door
opens directly ipto the front room, which OF
course l. not very spacious. but still is not so
narTow in appearance as might be supposed
The mont room Is separated from the back
room room by u wooden partition, and in the rear
room IS the staircase leading To the upper story
which Is similar To the lower story, except that
there - one large window front and back The
uepth oi tue house is about twenty feet. There
i "A oack door. which Will lead out into a small
back porch. There II no basement To- [ he uouse
for the reason that " hat would be tie basement
= used as "a paSsage-way To- the back yard
There are therefore four rooms in the house
eacn about SIX by ten feet, the TWO back rooms
containing the staircase. As IL is intended TO
DE occupied by newly married couplc per-
maps the rather close quarters Will not be found
o.ojeeitionabie, and by the time the period of
idinIIy jars come around they will probably
De IN more coin modious Quarters In the mean
Time, they viii! have the satisfaction OF not Only
having very snug quarters, but in living in
what IS probably the smallest house that has
ever been built IN This city.
