Longwood DETAILS & HIGHLIGHTS


Longwood is the largest octagonal house in the United States and a striking example of mid-19th century Oriental Revival architecture. Construction began in 1860 but was halted by the Civil War, leaving the upper floors unfinished and the family living only on the completed lower level. Today, Longwood stands as a National Historic Landmark and a unique testament to the era's grandeur and interrupted dreams.
