third octagon house in SF

I've corrected the statement that the McElroy was one of only two surviving octagon houses in SF. The third is the old Point Lobos Marine Exchange Lookout Station in Lincoln Park, just above the USS San Francisco Memorial. There had been lookout buildings on that site since 1850; the present one is the third, built in 1927. While its primary function was a lookout station for shipping, the lookout and his family lived in the building and, after it was decommissioned in 1966, it remained the private residence of the final lookout's daughter until 2002. It is now empty and awaiting restoration by the National Park Service. Bricology (talk) 21:09, 29 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

What about 21 Cascade Walk? It seems that there are at least 4 in the city. 24.6.187.181 (talk) 22:44, 3 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
