Frederick and Mary Currier built this house around 1854, inspired by Orson Fowler's A Home for All, which promoted the octagon form as a healthy place to live. Its tall windows, which admit light and air, and its five octagonal rooms reflect Fowler's philosophy. The Curriers came to Almont from New England in 1847. A machinist by trade, Frederick Currier, who lived from 1812 to 1900, at one time owned farms and factories, and invested in banking and lumbering. The house is listed in the National Register of Historic Places.
