Sam Kee Building in Chinatown




This is the narrowest office building in the world and is listed in Ripleys Believe it or Not and the book of Guiness World Records. It was a normal building till 1926 when the city reclaimed most of it and left it only 1.8metres wide! The owner thumbed the city and continued to operate his business out of it.
