Hexagon House, National Register historic house in Winchester, Virginia.
The Hexagon House features a two-story hexagonal floor plan with semi-hexagonal ground-floor projections and a three-bay veranda-style porch on the main facade.
Built between 1871 and 1873 by B. Leathers for James W. Burgess, this residence stands on land that belonged to James Wood, a founder of Winchester.
The design follows principles from Orson S. Fowler's 1853 book 'A Home for All', which promoted polygonal houses as practical and healthy living spaces.
Located at 530 Amherst Street, this two-story residence includes ventilators in principal rooms to maintain air quality throughout the structure.
Among all houses listed in the National Register of Historic Places, this property represents one of only two hexagonal structures in the entire registry.
