Stock Photo: Mcelroy Octagon House Is One Of The Last Of Three In San Francisco, 2.

ID 118754759 © Peachpappa | Megapixl.com

When built in 1861 for William C. McElroy, this octagon house was actually across the street. Ninety years later it was neglected and abandoned. As one of only three octagon houses in San Francisco, the National Society of Colonial Dames of America bought it, moved it to its present location across the street and restored it, it is now a museum. The popularity of octagon houses is traced to a popular lecturer and author Orson Fowler, who touted the idea as more natural and more efficient. In fact, the homes are less efficient and the fad died out quickly. This home received San Francisco Landmark status and National Registry of Historic Places status.
