#3Oh, we've got one like that, too! (In Aalesund, Norway) - Kongens gate 10b[0].
It measures 294cm towards the street - 9ft 8in. At one point there was a store selling neckties on the ground floor. :)

So a homeowner is allowed to blur their property on Street View, but the affects cannot be undone[1].

This got me curious...it turns out you can ask to have your home blurred and apparently it is irreversible. Seems odd for such an interesting house to not want to be seen on Google maps. Or perhaps the owner was standing out front at the time?

#7This reminds me of the spite house located in Alexandria, VA. It was build in the 1800s in order to prevent loiterers and wagons from passing through.

The way I read it, the photo can't be changed, but surely in some years they will take a new photo?

#10So a house number can be a fraction? That's something that should be added to https://www.mjt.me.uk/posts/falsehoods-programmers-believe-a...
