Longwood

Located on Lower Woodville Road, this is reputedly the largest octagonal house in the country. The brick house, topped with a large onion shaped dome, was begun in 1858 for Dr. Haller Nut. Due to a lack of skilled labor, the only interior area that was finished was the basement where the family lived. The rest of the interior was never finished. The living quarters are finished with heirlooms.

Open daily 9am-4:30pm. The grandest octagonal house in America. Superb example of mid-19th century Oriental style. Designed for Haller and Julia Nutt, it retains original furnishings. Finial atop dome was reconstructed in 1993 by the Pilgrimage Garden Club. National Historic Landmark.
