The Sam Kee Building, located at 8 West Pender Street in Vancouver's historic Chinatown, is a unique landmark known for being the world's narrowest commercial building. Measuring just 1.5 meters (4 feet 11 inches) wide, it was built in 1913 after the city expropriated most of the original lot for street widening. The building's facade features large windows that maximize natural light, and its ground floor houses a small insurance office. Visitors often stop to photograph its unusual proportions and learn about its history. The building is a testament to early Chinese-Canadian entrepreneurship and resilience, and it remains a popular photo spot and symbol of Chinatown's character.
