I used to live in Somerville when my sons were young and we chanced upon the house one day. I found it fascinating and returned to look at it many times until I finally moved back to CT in 2002. I'm very glad someone is helping the house- it's very special! I would love to be able to see the inside someday and go up to the top and see the skylight.

I've noticed that a number of people search for round house plans. Certainly a very interesting type of house. I do like the octagon houses too and will be writing a post about the nearby octagons sometime soon. Liz Hi Kent ~ Are you planning to build a round house?
