Long Island: Octagon House Stony Brook, New York
Nestled into a shady Stony Brook lane is a former octagon barn. According to the Three Village Historical Society, the barn was built in the mid to late 1800’s by a member of the Davis family. In the 1930’s the barn was converted to a house and is still lived in today.
Octagon houses and barns are apparently rare structures, many of which are on the National Register of Historic Places. It’s kind of neat to have one just a hop, skip and a jump from one of my local riding loops.
