Homes from 1850-1890

  • Octagon Home

    Octagon Home
    The octagon home was a house made looking like an octogon. These houses were made with primarily wood, and it had an amazing exotic architecture. Only 1000 of these homes were made, this is because they were fairly expensive so usually the more wealthy people living at that time would own a home like that. The only reason why someone created this home was because its a very roomy-large home. http://www.oldhouseweb.com/architecture-and-design/octagon-house-1850-1860.shtml
