What to Expect
The largest octagonal home remaining in America, Longwood is a superb example of the mid-nineteenth century "villa in the oriental style". Construction halted when the Civil War began, causing artisans to leave behind their tools, paint brushes, and lovely Longwood, never to be brought to completion.

About
Designed for Haller and Julia Nutt, Longwood stands five stories high and retains many original furnishings. When construction halted, the Nutt family moved into the nine-room ground floor. A gift to the Pilgrimage Garden Club in 1970 from the McAdams Foundation of Austin, Texas, the finial atop the dome was reconstructed in 1993.
