description

Summary

Significance: This is a large, unusually planned, octagonal house in the "Italian" style designed and built from 1859 to c. 1862 by the original owner for his own residence. It is an excellent example of the "gravel wall" construction advocated by Orson Fowler during the period and is important as an advance in the state of the art of building in the octagonal mode.
