dbo:abstract
  • The Octagon House, construida entre 1789 y 1800, fue diseñada por el doctor William Thornton, el arquitecto del Capitolio de los Estados Unidos. La casa se construyó para el coronel John Tayloe, al cual pertenecía la plantación de Mt. Airy, a unos 150 kilómetros al sur de Washington D. C. en el condado de Richmond, en Virginia. Tayloe tenía la fama de ser el propietario de la plantación más rica de Virginia, y se construyó una casa en Washington siguiendo el consejo de George Washington. En 1814, el coronel Tayloe ofreció el uso de su casa al presidente James Madison y a su mujer como una casa temporal debido a la por parte de los británicos. Madison usó la habitación circular encima de la entrada como estudio, y allí firmó el Tratado de Gante que acabó con la Guerra de 1812. Esta casa de tres pisos de ladrillo, que se adaptó a una finca de forma irregular, muestra un nuevo ladrillo con el tradicional estilo georgiano y el nuevo esquema de casa federal. The Octagon alcanza la cima de la arquitectura federal en los Estados Unidos gracias a sus brillantes planos que combinan un círculo, dos rectángulos y un triángulo, así como por la elegancia y moderación de su decoración interior y exterior. La (un tipo de piedra cerámica inglesa), las cocinas, los elementos decorativos y los muebles se trajeron de Inglaterra. Los materiales de construcción, como los ladrillos, madera, hierro y otras piedras se produjeron en los Estados Unidos. La Octagon House se convirtió en la sede del American Institute of Architects (Instituto Americano de Arquitectos, o AIA) el 1 de enero de 1899, y tomaron posesión de la casa en el año 1902. Hoy, la Fundación Americana de la Arquitectura es la dueña de Octagon House, y la AIA ha movido su sede a un edificio más grande detrás del original. Se ha llevado a cabo un extenso trabajo de rehabilitación en la casa desde 1996, tratando de retornar al esplendor inicial de este edificio. (es)

  • The Octagon House, also known as the Colonel John Tayloe III House, is located at 1799 New York Avenue, Northwest in the Foggy Bottom neighborhood of Washington, D.C. After the British destroyed the White House during the War of 1812, the house served as the temporary residence of James Madison, President of the United States, for a period of six months. It is one of only five houses to serve as the presidential residence in the history of the United States of America and one of only three (along with the White House and Blair House) that still stand. Colonel John Tayloe III, for whom the house was built, was born at Mount Airy – which he later inherited – the colonial estate built by his father, John Tayloe II on the north bank of the Rappahannock River across from Tappahannock, Virginia. By this time, it was the centerpiece of a roughly 60,000 acre department of interdependent plantation farms-known as the Mount Airy department, located approximately one hundred miles south of Washington, D.C., in Richmond County, Virginia. He was educated at Eton College and Cambridge University in England, served in the Virginia state legislature, and ran unsuccessfully for Congress in 1800. John Tayloe III married Ann Ogle, daughter of Benjamin Ogle and granddaughter to Samuel Ogle of Ogle Hall Annapolis, Maryland, in 1792 at her family's country home Belair Mansion. Ann was only a year younger than her husband. Tayloe was reputed to be the richest Virginian planter of his time, and built the house in Washington at the suggestion of George Washington on land purchased from Gustavus W. Scott or Benjamin Stoddert, first Secretary of the Navy. The Octagon was originally constructed to be a winter residence for the Tayloe family, but they lived in the house year-round from 1818 to 1855. The Octagon property originally included a number of outbuildings, including a smokehouse, laundry, stables, carriage house, slave quarters, and an ice house (the only surviving outbuilding). The Tayloes were involved in shipbuilding, horse breeding and racing, and owned several iron foundries—they were fairly diversified for a plantation family. The Tayloes owned hundreds of slaves, and had between 12 and 18 who worked at the Octagon. (en)
