Currier House, Octagonal residence in Almont, United States.

The Currier House features eight exterior walls, with front, rear, and side walls measuring 24 feet, while diagonal walls extend only 6 feet in length.

Frederick P. Currier, who moved from New England to Michigan in 1847, constructed this house in 1854 following the architectural principles of the period.

The structure incorporates design elements from Orson Fowler's publication 'A Home for All', which promoted octagonal buildings as beneficial living environments.

The residence maintains tall windows throughout its five octagonal rooms, providing natural illumination and ventilation through the entire living space.

This property remained in the Currier family's possession from its construction until 1961, when ownership transferred to different private individuals.
