The James Coolidge Octagon House in the village of Madison in Madison County, New York, built in 1850,[1] is a rare example of an octagonal house that is also a cobblestone house.[2]
It is believed by Albion, New York's Cobblestone Society and Museum to be the only octagonal cobblestone house.[1]
However, there is another cobblestone octagon building at 8273 Alloway Road in Lyons, New York in Wayne County, New York, built originally at least partially as a blacksmith shop, per this source.[3] It was built for a Mr. Hyde and has 12.5 feet (3.8 m) sides.[3]
