Love the brackets on the octagon house
ReplyDeleteHope to see it in person someday.
Ive visited dozens and researched them for 30 yrs.
I just compiled all 900 19th century octagon houses Ive located into a book.(both gone and extant)
View more info on my website.
Good luck with your knitting business.
