Octagon Building - Santa Cruz, CA - U.S. National Register of Historic Places on Waymarking.com

This was once a quaint little museum in downtown Santa Cruz focused on contemporary and historical visual culture with a series of rotating exhibitions. The permanent collection displayed historical artifacts that illustrated the unique history of Santa Cruz. The museum also offered docent-led tours of the historic Octagon building, the Evergreen Historic Cemetery and the Davenport Jail Museum.

Now the building is full of coffee, expresso, and latte!
