In most cases little information exists about the houses listed here, including
even the state where they might exist, or have existed. They are put in this
location in hopes that their existence can be verified by someone, and that more
information will be forthcoming. They are listed here to provide a focus,
rather than to just put them in some state and hope that someone sees that
something is wrong. Where the state is thought to be known, houses might
be listed in both places.

B Octagon house. Said to be in Washinton county, CT,
but it does not match any house already on the inventory, and there is
no further informaton available about the house for now. It cannot
be said for sure to be in CT at all. The photograph was taken by
Joseph West, of Washington, CT, and is presumably a family home.

J Octagon house. Not clear whether it is a house, part of a barn, or part of a
religious organization of old. The photo was found at a DC Big Flea held in CHantilly, VA, from a local
dealer who clears houses. He only recalled that some of the old things in that paper group were related to
a lone time preseident of St. Johns College, in Annapolis.
