At the time the Octagon House was built in New London, prior to August 1867, it was considered an architectural feat rather than an oddity.
In addition to its eight-sided shape, it was quite a showplace in its time. The parlour was complete with pump organ, plush couches and large framed portraits on easels.
A cupola was located in a second story in the center of the house with steps leading up to it.
The house was relocated in 1989 to Historical Village at Memorial Park in New London, WI. The restoration was done prior to 1990 when the house was furnished and ready for viewing.
