THE HOUSE SPANS 10.4 FEET AT HULL STREET, ITS WIDEST POINT. THERE IS NO ENTRANCE HERE; THE HOUSE MAY ONLY BE ENTERED VIA A SMALL ALLEY. THE HOUSE TAPERS TO 9.25 FEET AT THE BACK. INTERIOR WALLS ARE AS LITTLE AS 8.4 FEET WIDE AND NONE ARE MORE THAN 9.2 FEET WIDE. THE HOME'S NARROWEST INTERIOR POINT IS 6.2 FEET ACROSS, CLOSE ENOUGH TO ALLOW AN ADULT TO TOUCH OPPOSING WALLS. THERE ARE ONLY FIVE DOORS IN THE HOUSE ALTHOUGH IT HAS FOUR LEVELS. THE SECOND FLOOR HOLDS THE LIVING ROOM AND THE BATHROOM, ONE OF FEW SPACES SEPARATED BY A DOOR. The Skinny House at 44 Hull Street in the North End of Boston is an extremely narrow four-story house.
