THE OCTAGONAL HOUSE

Named for it unique 8-sided structure, the Octagonal House was built by Captain George Anderson, a shipbuilder and mariner. Later he sold the building to Captain Titus Anderson, his father. It has served as a home for a number of families since that time, and now houses the Sackville Information Centre and Craft Gallery.
Marker placed by Town of Sackville, in 1999.
On the Anderson family, see Milner, W.C., History of Sackville New Brunswick (Sackville, N.B.: The Tribune Press, 1934), p.113 (also available online at History of Sackville New Brunswick).
