Suffolk's Pink and Crooked Houses

Lavenham, England

Elfreth's Alley

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Elfreth's Alley

This charming colonial alleyway is one of the oldest continuously used residential streets in the U.S.

Covered for many years until renovations in the ‘70s and ‘80s, the glass skylight now lets in sun and offers a glimpse of the clock tower.

Washington, D.C.

The National Park Service’s best-kept secret with views that rival any in D.C.

You'll never unsee it now.
