Exploring historic buildings in Virginia is a fascinating journey into the past. Various styles have come and gone, yet what remains often preserves history in a way that’s otherwise hard to capture. Here in Virginia, we’re lucky to have such “living museums” to provide important insight into the past. One such example is a fascinating building known as the Octagon House in Marion, Virginia. Constructed in the 1850s, this home was completely in vogue with the current style yet today seems utterly bizarre.
Please note that this house is considered to be private property and moreover, attempting to enter the house is dangerous due to its unstable structure.
