The William Bryant Octagon House is an historic octagon house located at 2 Spring Street in Stoneham, Massachusetts. It was built in 1851 by Worchester Bros. for William Bryant, Jr., a shoecutter, and Lucinda A. (Hook) Bryant, his wife.[2] It is one of three octagon houses built in Stoneham during the 1850s, and is the best preserved. The eight walls rise two floors, and are covered by a bracketed roof with a central octagonal cupola. The entry is sheltered by an open porch with decorative square posts and brackets, and there is a two story addition projecting from the rear side of the house.[3]
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.[1]
