Little Boxes in the City
This month many have been fooled into thinking this house, which is in Toronto, was actually in Brooklyn, NY. While the tiny abode is nowhere near any of the five boroughs, there are some little residential gems amongst us (albeit still bigger than most city apartments).
liQcity points out "The smallest house in Long Island City" on Courthouse Sq, Hunters Point (pictured), and in the past we've seen a tiny houseboat in the Bronx, the urban hut of Brooklyn and the trailer of Willoughby Avenue -- but there's surely some more little houses hiding out there. If you've seen any, send pics our way, and in the meantime check out some more from the Bronx and the East Village in the gallery.
And don't forget, come July these little guys will be housed at MoMA.

Copied from my reply to the original post:
There's a really neat little place on the top of a bldg at the north west corner of the nexus of the universe, errr 1st and 1st. You can see it best from 1st st just east of 1st ave.
It looks like a little wood sided cottage from nantucket or something. Super neat.
I just found it on the the web version of google maps street view. Double click on the east side of 1st and 1st.

There is no "Brooklyn section of Toronto".

That house in Toronto has a bigger living room than my apartment. No complaints here..nope..none at all.

The "urban hut in Brooklyn" isn't a little house; back in January, a previous poster stated that s/he used to live in that building and that the hut simply houses the staircase from the 1st to 2nd floors.
