About The Armour-Stiner House
The Armour-Stiner Octagon House as we see it today is beautifully restored to its 1870s appearance inside and out, but it wasn’t always this way. After the Armour and Stiner families built and decorated this whimsical structure in the third quarter of the 19th century, the house began to suffer structural degradation that brought it to the edge of collapse. Learn about the rise, fall, and rebirth of this extraordinary house, the people who shaped it, and the intrepid restoration architect who saved it from near ruin.
