Celebrate the Season with your Local Landmarks! Like many historic house museums across the country, the Armour-Stiner Octagon House in Irvington, NY, offers tours of the house decorated for the holiday season.
Created as a summer retreat in 1872, this National Historic Landmark’s shape was based on the theories of Orson Squire Fowler, who believed octagonal houses enclosed more space, allowed the sun in at all times, and permitted more views into the landscape.
The Armour-Stiner House retains its magnificent ornamentation and furnishings and includes the only remaining Egyptian Revival Room in America with its original decoration and furniture. Museum houses decorated for the season are very popular. Support preservation in your community and visit your local landmarks during the holiday season!
