History

edit

The Feusier Octagon House is located at 1067 Green Street in San Francisco. It was built between 1857 and 1858 by George Kenny, who sold it in 1870 to Louis Feusier. The house was later expanded with a third story, mansard roof, and cupola.[6]

As of 2018 it was a rental house,[6] before being put up for sale in 2021 for US$8.6 million.[7]

The Feusier Octagon House, McElroy Octagon House, and the Marine Exchange Lookout Station at Land's End[8][9][10] are the only three remaining octagon houses in the city.[11][12][13][6]
