Albert S. Potter Octagon House, Historic octagonal house in Carolina, United States.
The Albert S. Potter Octagon House stands at 4 Carolina Main Street with an eight-sided structure topped by a cupola for watchmaking activities.
Built in 1857, this octagonal residence follows the architectural principles from Orson Fowler's 1848 publication 'The Octagon House, A Home for All'.
The structure represents mid-19th century architectural innovation in Rhode Island, combining residential space with a watchmaker's workshop in its cupola.
Located within the Carolina Village Historic District, the house features concrete construction with shingle siding, clapboard details, and bracketed cornices.
The building maintains its original octagonal form despite modern alterations, including asbestos siding and functional window configurations.
