Visit: The Armour-Stiner Octagon House, Irvington, New York

Visit the only known residence built in the form of a domed, ancient classical temple. Created as a whimsical summer retreat in 1872 by tea-importer Joseph Stiner, this National Historic Landmark's shape was based on the theories of Orson Squire Fowler, a phrenologist, who believed octagonal houses enclosed more space, allowed the sun in at all times, and permitted more views into the landscape. This lyrical home retains its magnificent ornamentation and furnishings and the only remaining Egyptian Revival Room in America with its original decoration and furniture.
The fully informative tour fee is $24 for adults. (Not suitable for children under 12 years of age.)
The 45-minute tour in groups of 20 people are conducted by highly trained docents and they include the three principal floors of the house.
