75 1/2 Bedford St

Seventy-five and a half Bedford Street is a brick townhouse with an asymmetrical stepped gable that stands out for being only nine-and-a-half feet wide. Often identified as the narrowest house in New York City, the structure occupies what was once a carriage entranceway for the neighboring eighteen-century property at seventy-seven Bedford Street. Most records date its construction to eighteen seventy-three, a period during which it served as a functional gap between existing carriage houses.
