Currier House
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. The tall windows, which emit light and air, and the five octagonal rooms reflect Fowler’s philosophy. The Curriers came to Almont from New England in 1847. A machinist by trade, at one time Currier (1812-1900) owned factories and farms and invested in banking and lumbering. The house is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
