Skinny lot new construction

Anyone following this blog--my loyal legions of followers--know that I love what the Postgreen folks are doing up in Philadelphia with their 100k House (http://www.100khouse.com/2010/05/18/excellent-new-video-on-the-100k-house/). On Duffy Street, in downtown Savannah's Victorian Historic District, we've filled in a 25 foot wide lot with a new construction home and are renovating the house to the right of it. I thought it would be fun to see what the house and the lot used to look like--dig the old roof line. You wouldn't think a house can squeeze in there. And yet, it did. The siding is up on the new house and the renovated house is being framed for the new windows as I write--you can see one window on the first floor of the house. I know people like open floor plans, but we will indeed be closing off the front of the renovated house on the right. The house under renovation is under contract, and the new home is still available, but attracting a lot of interest.
