The Cake House....

There are homes that were in vogue in the 1850's called Octagon Houses, so called because they are indeed eight-sided. If you would like to learn more about them, there is a Wikipedia explanation: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octagon_house We have one of these in the town where we live, but much as I say "Octagon House" my husband always calls it the "cake house" - I suppose it does look a bit like a cake. What do you think?
