Although this house is not a true octagon, it attracts attention. Its history is sketchy, but in 1877 a map of the village indicates the owner to be Mr. Harris. William Vorce came into possession of the Octagon House in 1889 when Mr. Harris took the Vorce farm as part of a real estate agreement and when Mr. Vorce bought Mr. Harris’s interest in the Westfield Grist Mill. In 1908, the local newspaper reported that Miss Alice Kent made improvements to her new purchase. The house has changed hands several times since Miss Kent’s time and is currently divided into a number of small apartments.
