The Spite House

Or:  "How to Get Even with Your Neighbor"

Okay, so this appealed to that really shallow part of me that had to see the revenge of a really ticked off man. It seems that the city  (Alameda) took away a portion of his land to put in a street, and he was left with a 10' wide lot.  The neighbor was not sympathetic, so the man got even by building on it, right up to the neighbor's house. 

Here is the front of the house...looks pretty good!

Wondering what you are looking at? The spite house is behind the tree.

Here is the view through the tree.

There is less than a foot between the houses and it blocks both floors of the neighbor's house.
