A 1924 picture of "The Spite House" in Old Town Alexandria, Virginia. The house was built in 1830 by John Hallenbury in order to keep horse-drawn wagons and trespassers out of the alley between his two houses.
The Spite House, pictured today, is seven feet wide and twenty five feet deep. The two story structure has a total of 325 square feet of living space. The current owners utilize it as a second home.
