>>And, probably you got a full corner, 90 degrees - what about poor John
Leeke,
who grew up in an octagonal house!<<

That must be why my head is such an unusual shape!

Our colleague in preservation, Les Fossell, sez:
There is a nice old brick octagon in Wiscassett, Maine; and one in
Litchfield, Maine with an unusually steep pitch roof, but the only octagon
in Alna that he knows about was built just 15 years ago.

For the list: Queen Anne style octagon in Greenfield, MA.
