One of the first homes ever built in the nation’s capital, the historic federal-style Octagon House was designed in 1799 by William Thornton for wealthy Virginia landowner Colonel John Tayloe III. Renovated multiple times and established as a museum in 1970, it now offers limited hours for tours and self-guided visits.
