Summary

Description
English: The Octagon House in Washington, D.C., built in 1800, is owned by the American Institute of Architects. Built in 1800, the Octagon house in Washington, D.C., was originally owned by Colonel John Tayloe.

It was sold from the Tayloe family in 1855, and became a makeshift hospital during the Civil war.
