Longwood from above
Longwood is the largest octagonal house in America, and is located in Natchez, Mississippi. There are LOTS of photos of in on flickr.
This shows the roof of the house from a hot air balloon!
The tin in the windows of the dome that kept out the rain has now been replaced by large plexi-glass sheets to allow the light to come in and fall down the rotunda. The roof of the DOME has now been repainted red. AND the spire has been restored by the Pilgrimage Garden Club to atop the dome. MANY other photos on flickr reveal more details of this amazing house.. which is a museum and is open year round.
