Frederick and Mary Currier built this house around 1854, inspired by Orson Fowler’s A Home for All, which promoted the octagon form as a healthy place to live. The tall windows, which admit light and air, and the five octagonal rooms reflect Fowler’s philosophy. The Curriers came to Almont from New England in 1847. A machinist by trade, Currier (1812-1900) at one time owned farms and factories, and invested in banking and lumbering. The house is listed in the National Register of Historic Places.
