Built in 1855-60 by John Blauvelt, Jr., the Octagon House exemplified the “Gravel Wall and Octagon Mode of Building” popularized by Orso S. Fowler in the 1850's and was noted for its use of building material, plan of rooms, and adaptability to light and ventilation. Blauvelt, an adherent of this style, lived there until 1882. Later owners included Garret Hering, Jules Schwenker, and George Huff, all of whom served as mayors of Montvale.
