19 South Main St. is shoehorned between its neighbors.
The space where this narrow building stands was once a 10-foot wide alley, until this tiny storefront was inserted in the late 19th C. Architect Skip Ravenhorst has almost finished renovating the space for the offices of his practice. Naturally, architects often inhabit the most interesting and unusual spots in town.

Wow, doesn't seem like much can fit in there...I bet the current tenant is good with space ;)
Have a great weekend, wasn't yesterday beautiful?!
What a great collection of photographs. You have a wonderful eye for translating architecture to this format.
would it qualify as the town's "smallest/narrowest building"?
I feel claustrophobic just looking at it!
Wow, that is an exceptionally narrow space. It looks like a great place to be nestled though. Your brick series is interesting, some lovely images.
I like the series of constructions you have posted. You will find such narrow houses also in cities like Amsterdam and London among many other places. I like them very much. We own one in The Hague (Holland) right in the very heart of the city.
yes, MK, as a W&L alumna, I'd love to see some of the Lexington brick pattern in this series!
I wonder whether the architect's drawing table would fit into this house. Must be very cosy inside though.
