75 1/2 Bedford Street in Greenwich Village is New York City's narrowest house: only nine feet six inches wide. It was once home to poet Edna St. Vincent Millay. Actors Cary Grant and John Barrymore were temporarily housed in the house while performing in a nearby theater. Author Ann McGovern lived there as well, which inspired her to co-write the novel, "Mr. Skinner's Skinny House."
