The Octagon House is an historic octagonal house located at 28 King Street in Westfield, Massachusetts. It was built sometime between 1858 and 1864 by Joseph Watson. His construction was a two story eight-sided structure with a hip roof and a central eight-sided cupola. Between 1870 and 1875 a rectangular extension, also two stories, was added onto the back of the house. The only other major modification was in about 1900, when a Queen Anne style porch was added to the front.[2]
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982,[1] and included as part of expansion of the Westfield Center Historic District in 2013.[3]
