Gregg-Crites Octagon House, Eight-sided residential building in Circleville, United States.
The Gregg-Crites Octagon House features a central spiral staircase connecting two floors with rooms arranged in a pie-slice pattern and multiple connecting doorways.
George Gregg constructed this octagonal structure between 1855 and 1856, modeling it after the original octagonal courthouse in the center of Circleville.
The interior woodwork displays oak and pine materials with detailed craftsmanship representing mid-19th century residential construction methods in Ohio.
In 2004, the 480-ton structure was relocated using steel beams and a 96-wheel hydraulic mechanism to prevent demolition during a commercial development project.
The house contains a central kitchen fireplace and maintains its original ironwork in the second-floor bedroom fireplace, with eight equal bedrooms on the upper level.
