Notes
  • Significance: The Octagon House was constructed ca. 1860-1861 with plain concrete walls surfaced with "V" groove redwood rustic siding, and with wood quoins at the angles and modified Classical Revival cornice and entrance details. Built for William C. McElroy, it is now owned by the National Society of Colonial Dames of America Resident in California. The building is one of two remaining houses in San Francisco built on the octagon plan, which became popular in mid-19th century America.
