Description

Within the early 1840s, an enterprising New Englander from Vermont moved to frontier Michigan. It used to be there Within the Village of Almont, that he built his distinctive octagon home.

The octagon taste, popular Within the mid to overdue 1800s used to be hailed as both economically sound and aesthetically subtle in its design.

Fred P. Currier used to be influenced by Orson Fowler’s A Home for All, which outlined some great benefits of the octagon form.

This book is the tale of this man, his circle of relatives, his home, and the city he helped to build.
