Octagon House - a photo on Flickriver

Octagon House

            The Octagon House in Red Wing, Minnesota, is a peculiar relic, an eight-sided testament to architectural madness and Victorian-era eccentricity. This bizarre structure, with its odd angles and peculiar charm, stands as a defiant monument to a time when people thought geometry could save their souls. It’s a place where you half-expect to find hidden rooms and secret passages, filled with the ghosts of past inhabitants whispering their strange stories. Step inside, and you’re transported to an era of opulence and oddity, where every corner hides a new curiosity and every wall echoes with the laughter of history. It’s a must-see for anyone with a taste for the unusual and a thirst for the extraordinary.
