House of the Seven Gables, Octagonal house in Mayo, Florida.
The house features seven gabled sides with one side opening into a rear wing, combining octagonal architecture with a traditional residential layout.
Built in the 1880s by Mack Koon following James Mitchell's design, the structure stood at the intersection of Clark and Bloxham streets in Mayo.
The design draws inspiration from Nathaniel Hawthorne's novel The House of the Seven Gables, adapting literary influence into Florida's small-town architecture.
The interior contained three bedrooms and a parlor in the octagonal section, with cooking and dining spaces positioned in the connected wing.
The structure gained recognition in the 1989 Guide to Florida's Historic Architecture before its demolition in 2021 due to severe storm damage.
