Fodor's Review:
Octagonal houses were once thought to make the best use of space and enhance the physical and mental well-being of their occupants. A brief mid-19th-century craze inspired the construction of several in San Francisco. Only the Feusier House, built in 1857, and the Octagon House remain standing. A private residence, the Feusier House is easy to overlook unless you look closely -- it's dwarfed by the large-scale apartments around it. Across from the Feusier House is the 1907 Firehouse (1088 Green St.). Louise M. Davies, the local art patron for whom symphony hall is named, bought it from the city in 1957. The firehouse is closed to the public, but it's worth taking in the exterior.
