Sam Kee Building

The Sam Kee Building is a famously narrow two-storey building in Vancouver's Chinatown. Its thin footprint came after the city expropriated much of the original lot for street widening, leaving the owner to build on the sliver that remained.

It is a quick architectural stop, best seen as part of a walk through Chinatown and nearby Gastown.
