Private Tour of The Armour-Stiner Octagon House in New York

Overview

The Armour-Stiner Octagon House was built in 1860 as a summer home. To this day, the Spring months here in The Hudson Valley are the most delightful time of the year. Victorian Springtime at The Octagon House, a one-hour tour, includes both a guided exploration of the lush 19th-century grounds and an unforgettable interior tour of this marvelously preserved Victorian Summer Home. Guests will see and smell a vibrant array of Victorian flowers inside the fully restored Lord and Burnham greenhouse, listen to an orchestra of songbirds in the Foxglove Garden, and step back in time with a stroll around the 360-degree verandah. In the interior portion of the tour, see many examples of how the natural world heavily influenced Victorian life and design.

What a special experience my 13 year old daughter and I had when we stumbled upon the house tour on the web. The. Armour-Stiner Octagon house is exquisitely restored, a feast for the eyes. We were fascinated by the period furniture, light fixtures, murals, the sideboard in the dining room and the triangle rooms, to name a few features. We learned why one would need a copper sink and admired the beauty of the forerunner of the file cabinet. Sarah, our tour guide was well informed and we found her passion for the house infectious. My daughter’s favorite room was the Ancient Egyptian styled “family room.” What a rich cultural treasure. If you live in Westchester, you have no excuse. It is a must see.

I had a fantastic experience touring the Armour-Stiner house! It was definitely a highlight of my trip to the area. The tour guide was lovely and well informed. The house was also beautifully restored and it was amazing viewing what was basically my dream house!
