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. After the White house was burned in the war of 1812, the Octagon became the temporary home of president James Madison and his wife Dolley. It was sold from the Tayloe family in 1855, and became a makeshift hospital during the Civil war. |
