Enjoy a ‘Victorian Christmas’ at Westchester’s Octagon House

Not only is Westchester's Octagon House the stuff that Instagram dreams are made of, but it is the world’s only eight-sided, fully-domed Victorian home. This holiday season, the Armour–Stiner House, as it's officially known, will open its doors at night for a special event that invites guests to tour the restored 1872 house while it's full of seasonal decorations. There will also be hot refreshments served and "dramatic interpretations of Washington Irving's 'Old Christmas.'"

Tour Westchester’s Octagon House, the world’s only eight-sided, fully-domed Victorian home

By Michelle Cohen

Known as the Armour–Stiner (Octagon) House, this unique home in Irvington-on-Hudson, NY, is the only known residence constructed in the eight-sided, domed colonnaded shape of a classic Roman Temple. The octagon-shaped domed Victorian-style home was listed for rent a few years ago by its current owner, preservation architect Joseph Pell Lombardi, for a hefty $40,000 a month, as 6sqft reported. Now for the first time in its history the house is open for guided tours, so you don't have to fork over a fortune to experience one of the world's most visually unique homes. The house is also available as a location for film and photography.

Live in an octagon-shaped, Victorian style home in Westchester for $40,000 a month

By Emily Nonko

The listing goes right ahead and calls this "one of the most visually unique homes in the world," and it'd be hard to argue with that. This is known as the Armour–Stiner House, or the Carmer Octagon House, a unique octagon-shaped and domed Victorian style home located in Irvington, a town of Westchester County. It was built in 1860 by financier Paul J. Armour, enlarged between 1872 and 1876, and is now the only known residence constructed in the eight-sided, domed colonnaded shape of a classic Roman Temple. The current owner, Joseph Pell Lombardi, a preservation architect with his own firm, has listed it for rent asking a hefty $40,000 a month.
