The McElroy Octagon House is a fun little place with great colonial-era treasures!Then house is currently owned by the National Society of the Colonial Danes. They collect and preserve many colonial era homes all over the US. The house is open on very few hours throughout the month. It is not marketed well as well.There were 3 or 4 docents that were available at the place & showed great hospitality. There were cookies, cider & Christmas decor.My favourite exhibit was the hand drawn map of the Americas from the 17th century. The small garden outside the house is a really pretty place to enjoy.

This place is a pretty great place to go to if you like taking pictures and scenery however it can also get boring fairly quick. All you really do there is walk around and look at the lights, perhaps sit and talk for a bit, and take pictures.

This is a lot of fun if youre in the Union St. area. This is an 8 sided house that is over 150 years old. Cool historical value. Also a great little park and gardens. Just one of those kinda wacky things that we San Francisco folks love . Very interesting, about the Dames who saved this place. Check it out.

Only one of two octagon houses left in SF, only one is open to the public. Incredible history and Dames!

Have you ever wondered where the term Sleep tight comes from? Because I found out on this tour! I cant wait to built my own mini replica!

Well run museum with several great stories to tell, including intelligent housing design efforts in the 1860s.

Best place to live around the area of the Union District.

Its a must visit, once you are inside you are immediately transported 200 years back in time. The ladies that take care of it know their history and they have very interesting pieces.

Very good

If you didnt already know it was there you would miss it entirely

No chance to get inside. Open only 3 days per month!
