Taws unearthed many interesting facts, including the story of the creation of the Octagon House that still stands at the intersec tion of Division and Wellington Streets. He calls it "one of the better examples of a very rare style" of architecture. The house was originally built in 1905 by an American named Orson Squire Fowler. He believed "people "people who had houses with corners would just throw things in the corners," and that the ensuing mess would cause the residents to be unhappy. The octagon octagon design was seen as a solution to that problem "It wasn't very scientific," scientific," added Taws. Editions of the book arc available at the Bowmanvillc Museum on Silver Street or through Gabricllc Antiques in Kirby. The cost is $10, plus GST.
