Description
The Octagon was completed between 1799 and 1801 - the first residence to be completed in the area near the White House. Dr William Thornton, the first architect of the U.S. Capitol, designed the Octagon. The Octagon Museum has exhibits that concentrate on architecture and design since it opened to the public in 1970, two years after its purchase by the American Architectural Foundation (AAF).
