Hexagon House is a historic home located in Winchester, Virginia. It was built between 1871 and 1873, and is a two-story, hexagonal shaped brick dwelling. It has a central chimney and is topped by a low-pitched roof. It features a one-story, three-bay frame porch on the principal facade.[3]
Completed in 1873 by architect Brice Leatherman for James W. Burgess in a style designed to open up interior space and let in more natural light. Even rarer than octagon houses built on similar principles.[4]
It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.[1]
