Richardson Spite House
In the 1880s, a New York landowner named Richardson refused the offer of a developer adjacent to a strip of land he owned. The developer built an apartments facing Richardson’s strip of land. Richardson built a 104 foot long, 5 foot deep building that completely blocked the view from the developer’s apartments. The Richardson Spite House had 8 3-room suites on 4 stories. Only one resident at a time could use the stairs. The building stood for 33 years and was torn down in 1915.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
