Founder of Eddie’s Taco House legacy Eddie started with a small idea and a large will to succeed. With the support of his family in 1976, he opened Eddie’s TacHouse in the corner of a warehouse located at 1615 N. Laredo St. Today we continue to follow his fream by of-fering quality food and good service at an affordable price. Never fully fluent in English, Mami nevertheless took us to the library as much as she could. When she realized that pulling us from school to spend weeks in Mexico affected our learning, Mami flatly told my dad that those vacations wouldn’t happen again. Her example of facing a cruel world with grit and grace influenced my three siblings and me to succeed in life — or them, at least.

Column: My mami’s hard life, cut short right when it was about to get really good
My mother’s grave is within eyesight of a big statue of the Santo Niño de Atocha, an apparition of the infant Jesus omnipresent in the lives of people from the state of Zacatecas, where she was born. Many from that diaspora are buried in Holy Sepulcher, including both of my maternal grandparents, family friends and cousins — and, one day, myself. So I recite the Lord’s Prayer and a Hail Mary for all of us, then pull up YouTube on my smartphone to play a mariachi version of “Lara’s Theme,” the song Mami requested we play at her funeral.

Opinion: Why are more Americans dying alone?
They all work in the public sector, while I’m the black sheep of the family as a reporter. A year of devastating frost followed by another year of drought destroyed consecutive harvests for my grandfather and forced him to move his family to the United States in the 1960s, when Mami was 9. His declining health meant she had to drop out of middle school in Anaheim to pick strawberries. She dealt with the alcoholism and gambling of my father in their early years of marriage, and his machismo until the day she passed. Edward Caballero started the Eddie’s Taco House legacy with a small idea and a huge will to succeed.

The trumpet in “Lara’s Theme” turns wary about halfway in, but I get a small smile thinking about what I put my mami through. As an infant, I would push her away when she tried to hold me and yell, “Ash! I talked too much in elementary school and never had good grades through high school. My family laid her to rest five years ago today, in a ceremony I remember like it happened yesterday.

San Antonio may not have won a Twitter poll asking Waffle House fans which city deserved a visit from the beloved chain, but it is rolling into town anyway. A Waffle House on wheels will be parked outside of the Majestic Theatre on September 3 from 10 am to 1 pm giving out free breakfast. Although the company says there is overwhelming demand for a proper brick-and-mortar in the Alamo City, there’s no word whether or not a franchise is in the works. The company does not typically share how they decide on potential locations, but Boss said that the chain doesn't currently have any plans for a San Antonio location. Waffle House is working on a new location in the Texas Hill Country, which will be the closest location to San Antonio.
Waffle House rolls into unexpected San Antonio location and more food news
The Cookhouse temporarily closed on August 25 for a refresh. After making a few renovations, the beloved Southern eatery will reopen September 3 with a new menu and a new general manager, former sous chef Matt Garcia. Although the restaurant is keeping the details mum for now, it did tease that it does have a month of special events lined up starting on September 8. One of the Hill Country’s longest-running celebrations is calling in its glam squad. On April 24, the Fredericksburg Food and Wine Festival, a highlight of the popular weekend destination’s busy calendar, announced a revamp, including a new look and enhanced culinary and beverage experiences. There’s no word on the details (although we assume it will indeed be a sports bar), and the business does not appear to have established a web or social media presence.

Popular 33-year-old Hill Country food festival glows up with brand-new events
The 24-hour breakfast chain plans to open a new restaurant in Kyle, reported My San Antonio. This year’s event promises an unparalleled lineup of culinary talent, live music, and immersive experiences to foster authentic connections among Texas culinary and beverage enthusiasts,” said the fest’s producer, Hayley Wakefield, via a release. Although the full schedule will not be announced for a few weeks, organizers have teased a variety of new activations. In addition to the grand tasting, the festivities include a special street dinner, an interactive brunch offsite, a yoga and wine session, a family friendly foodie event, and a curated sundry shop and sparkling wine garden. Robert Oberhelman, the late owner of Bell Mountain Winery, founded the festival in 1991 to highlight local chefs and promote the then-nascent Texas wine industry. Originally a fundraiser for Marktplatz, the town’s central park, the party now supports several Central Texas charities.
OH, BY THE WAY… Each day, we serve over 300,000 waffles across the Waffle House system. A VIP experience is available for those who want to amp up their experience. Prices have not been revealed yet, but traditionally it is one of the biggest bargains in the Central Texas food festival circuit.
The planned location about a half-hour south of Austin is the closest the chain has so far come to San Antonio.

When the House resolves itself into a Committee of the Whole, the speaker designates a member to preside over the committee, who is addressed as "Mister Chairman" or "Madam Chairwoman". The presiding officer also rules on all points of order but such rulings may be appealed to the whole House. The speaker is responsible for maintaining decorum in the House and may order the Sergeant-at-Arms to enforce House rules.
d Republican joins motion to oust Mike Johnson as House speaker
After the 1998 midterm elections where the Republicans lost seats, Gingrich did not stand for re-election. The next two figures in the House Republican leadership hierarchy, Majority Leader Richard Armey and Majority Whip Tom DeLay chose not to run for the office. The chairman of the House Appropriations Committee, Bob Livingston, declared his bid for the speakership, which was unopposed, making him speaker-designate. It was then revealed, by Livingston himself, who had been publicly critical of President Bill Clinton's alleged perjury during his sexual harassment trial, that he had engaged in an extramarital affair. He opted to resign from the House, despite being urged to stay on by House Democratic leader Gephardt. The Republicans retained their majorities in the 2000, 2002, and 2004 elections.
Inside the failed White House coup to oust Biden press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre
Two rival delegations, one Whig and the other Democrat, had been certified as elected by different branches of the New Jersey government. The problem was compounded by the fact that the result of the dispute would determine whether the Whigs or the Democrats held the majority. Neither party agreed to permit a speakership election with the opposite party's delegation participating.
Speakers of the House of Representatives
You may also need permission from holders of other rights, such as publicity and/or privacy rights. This list is based on the difference between dates; if counted by number of calendar days all the figures would be one greater. Time after adjournment of one Congress but before the convening of the next Congress is not counted. For example, Nathaniel Macon was Speaker in both the 8thth and 9th Congresses, but the eight-month gap between the two Congresses is not counted toward his service.
Repository
Historically, the magical number has been 218 out of the 435 members of the House. But many previous speakers, including outgoing Speaker Nancy Pelosi, have ascended to the dais with fewer votes than that, as some members voted present instead of calling out a name. Every lawmaker voting "present" lowers the overall tally needed to reach a majority.
House Republicans share schedule of next steps in speaker race and election
And it left hanging the direction of the newly elected House Republican majority in the 118th Congress. Elected by a simple majority of the members of the House, the Speaker is traditionally their party's leader in the chamber, and unlike the other House leadership, the speaker is a constitutional officer as established by Article One of the United States Constitution. At the beginning of a new Congress every two years, the House elects a speaker, either the incumbent, or a new one, depending on party composition and membership of incumbents.
If McCarthy wins, he will be escorted to the chair to make remarks and be sworn in, and then he will administer the oath of office to members, followed by a vote on the new House's rules. Based on recent history, that vote could start anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour and a half after the House convenes. Republican Party holdouts repeatedly put forward the name of Rep. Byron Donalds of Florida, ensuring continuation of the stalemate that increasingly carried undercurrents of race and politics. They also put forward Republican Kevin Hern of Oklahoma, splitting the protest vote. Democrat Jeffries of New York won the most votes on every ballot but also remained short of a majority. McCarthy could be seen talking, one on one, in whispered and animated conversations in the House chamber.
What to know about new House Speaker Mike Johnson - Axios
What to know about new House Speaker Mike Johnson.
The presidents of the University of Pennsylvania and Harvard have already resigned. And last week, Columbia's president became the latest to testify before Congress. University leaders have been toeing a line on how to express disdain about antisemitic language and enforce university policies while also allowing students to practice free speech, as they face accusations that colleges are not doing enough to protect Jewish students.
From early in its existence, the speaker's primary function had been to keep order and enforce rules. Furthermore, when no candidate received an Electoral College majority in the 1824 presidential election, causing the president to be elected by the House, Speaker Clay threw his support to John Quincy Adams instead of Andrew Jackson, thereby ensuring Adams' victory. Following Clay's retirement in 1825, the power of the speakership once again began to decline, despite speakership elections becoming increasingly bitter. As the Civil War approached, several sectional factions nominated their own candidates, often making it difficult for any candidate to attain a majority. In 1855 and again in 1859, for example, the contest for speaker lasted for two months before the House achieved a result. For example, from 1839 to 1863 there were eleven speakers, only one of whom served for more than one term.
Additionally, since many speakers held office for multiple terms, often with non-consecutive periods, the time listed for each speaker represents the total length of their time as speaker. It is important to note that the period between the adjournment of one Congress and the convening of the next Congress is not included in the calculations. For instance, Nathaniel Macon served as speaker during both the 8th and 9th Congresses, but the eight-month gap between the two Congresses is not included in his service duration. The exact dates of service for each individual speaker is shown in the Term of service column of the above table. Johnson has gained stature and won bipartisan praise for letting the whole House vote on the aid package. He also got strong support in the Senate, where even an outright majority of Republicans voted for the aid on Tuesday.
His emissaries sidled up to holdouts, and grueling negotiations proceeded in the GOP whip’s office down the hall. Through defeat after defeat, McCarthy remained determined to persuade Republicans to end the paralyzing debate that has blighted his new GOP majority. “This sacred House of Representatives needs a leader,” said Democrat Joe Neguse of Colorado, nominating his own party’s leader, Hakeem Jeffries, as speaker. Rep. Mike Johnson of Louisiana, the vice conference chair and Judiciary member, is making calls for speaker, according to a source.
The dynamic gained steam in December, when a group of university presidents testified before a congressional committee. Rep. Elise Stefanik, the GOP conference chair, pressed the administrators at the hearing on how they have handled antisemitic incidents on their campuses. Ryan, then just 45, was the youngest speaker in nearly 150 years but had already been party's vice presidential nominee on the 2012 ticket. Once he had Boehner's job, however, he experienced much the same internal strife. Ryan also had a strained relationship with then-President Donald Trump, with whom he had a falling out during the fall 2016 campaign. In April 2018, Ryan said he would not serve another term and left as the party was losing its majority that fall.
They were also frustrated at the terms of a deal he cut with President Joe Biden to raise the nation’s debt limit earlier this year. This wing of the GOP is absolutist in its view of federal spending and some have even expressed willingness to entertain a default or shutdown to get what they want. Cooper, whose parents had operated a station on the Underground Railroad by which escaped slaves reached freedom, was a longtime ally of Wisconsin's legendary progressive governor and Sen. Robert "Fighting Bob" LaFollette. When Cooper was opposing Gillett in the House, LaFollette was conducting a smaller-scale revolt against the GOP leaders in the Senate. Two years after that, Gillett's party rode to a huge majority on the same postwar wave that swept Warren G. Harding into the White House in 1920. The party of Lincoln was gaining ground in most of the country and beginning a decade of Washington domination in the White House and Congress alike.
Samuel Randall filled the vacancy on December 4, 1876, the first day of the second session. 8Theodore Pomeroy was elected Speaker on March 3, 1869, to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Speaker Colfax, and served one day.

The oath is identical to the one new members will take once a speaker is chosen. Defeated in the 1912 election, he returned two years later and served several additional terms as a rank and file member. On his last day in office he was featured on the cover of the first issue of the new Time Magazine (March 3, 1923). When Cannon's high-handed practices had become intolerable, a coalition of Democratic members and Republican progressives put together the bipartisan majority needed to "vacate the chair." Cannon remained Speaker but lost most of his powers.
The Doctors House Museum in Glendale
The speaker is selected by the full House membership, though the majority party’s voting power ensures that the role is occupied by one of their own. That's why the rejection of McCarthy on the first ballot and beyond was such riveting news. It left open the job that stands second in the line of presidential succession (right after the vice president).
Republicans Nominate Paul Ryan as House Speaker
But he voluntarily resigned after the GOP lost badly in the 2006 midterms, a defeat Bush called "a thumpin' " at the time. Greene had vowed to press her challenge after Johnson announced a strategy to pass $95 billion in aid to Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan earlier this month. About two-thirds of that money was for Ukraine, an issue Greene had called her "red line" for moving against the speaker. To win the gavel, a candidate needs support from a majority of the House members present, meaning McCarthy will need 218 votes if every one of the current members votes and does so for a candidate by name.
Joe Alwyn has ‘moved on’ from ex Taylor Swift, he’s ‘dating and happy’: report
One from hardline Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene would reduce spending for Ukraine to zero. Democratic leader Rep. Hakeem Jeffries said that he spoke with Johnson on Thursday night to ensure the bill would clear the Rules Committee. The longest fight for the gavel started in late 1855 and dragged on for two months, with 133 ballots, during debates over slavery in the run-up to the Civil War.
How this Congress keeps setting records with its speaker votes
At the height of his power, Cannon not only chose all the committee chairs, he chose all the members of all the committees. He was chairman of the Rules Committee and he determined which bills and amendments would be allowed on the floor and which members would be permitted to speak. McCarthy had resisted this as it would essentially put his job on the line on a daily, even hourly, basis.
Sign up to receive Constitution Weekly, our email roundup of constitutional news and debate, at bit.ly/constitutionweekly. The table provides a complete list of speakers of the House of Representatives. 17The first session of the 87th Congress (1961–1963) adjourned on September 27, 1961. John McCormack filled the vacancy on January 10, 1962, the first day of the second session. 9The first session of the 44th Congress (1875–1877) adjourned on August 15, 1876.
Weeks later, Democrats unanimously chose Rep. Hakeem Jeffries to become their leader as the party transitions into the minority. From 1977 to 1995, three successive Democratic speakers – Thomas “Tip” O’Neill, Jim Wright and Tom Foley – reinvigorated the speakership. They enlarged the party leadership structure, creating wider networks of loyalty among members of the majority party while strengthening support for their priorities.
Speaker pro tempore
How the House elects a speaker - WBAL TV Baltimore
Johnson is the sixth Republican elevated to the speakership since 1994, the year the party won its first House majority and elected a speaker of its own for the first time in 40 years. The hard truth is that the five who preceded Johnson (McCarthy, Paul Ryan, John Boehner, Dennis Hastert and Newt Gingrich) all saw their time in the office end in relative degrees of defeat or frustration. And to find a Republican speaker who left voluntarily in a moment of victory, moving on to another office, you have to go back to the mid-1920s. Greene could launch a bid to evict Johnson from the speaker’s office, should she call it up for a vote, much the way Republicans booted Kevin McCarthy from the position last fall.
Emmer plans to run "entirely positive" campaign for speaker, source says
James K. Polk is the only speaker of the House who was later elected president of the United States. At other times, more junior members may be assigned to preside to give them experience with the rules and procedures of the House. The speaker may also designate, with approval of the House, a speaker pro tempore for special purposes, such as designating a representative whose district is near Washington, D.C. In 1997, several Republican congressional leaders tried to force Speaker Newt Gingrich to resign. However, Gingrich refused since that would have required a new election for speaker, which could have led to Democrats along with dissenting Republicans voting for Democrat Dick Gephardt (then minority leader) as speaker.
Often called the second most powerful job in Washington, the speaker of the House has a vast array of responsibilities and daily duties. As Representative Paul D. Ryan prepares to take the helm, here is a look back at how some speakers fulfilled their charge as dictated by House rules, years of tradition and changing political realities. Johnson's visit to the campus further elevates the issue, and marks the latest in a series of visits from lawmakers this week.
Passing each bill, in votes expected Saturday, will require Johnson to form complicated bipartisan coalitions on each, with Democrats for example ensuring Ukraine aid is approved, but some left-leaning progressives refusing to back military aid for Israel over the destruction of Gaza. Still, Jeffries said that a majority of Democrats would vote Saturday for the packages of aid for Ukraine, Israel and allies in Asia. It was a victory for the strategy Johnson set in motion this week after he agonized for two months over the legislation. Still, Johnson has had to spend the past 24 hours making the rounds on conservative media working to salvage support for the wartime funding, particularly for Ukraine as it faces a critical moment battling Russia, but also for his own job as the effort to remove him as speaker grew. If no candidate can win a majority, the House will continue to hold votes until one does; that has happened only 14 times in the chamber's history; 13 of these took place before the Civil War, and the last occurrence was 1923.
The economy was still recovering from its postwar recession and labor unrest was widespread, including major strikes by coal miners and railroad workers. Theodore M. Pomeroy served as Speaker of the House for one day after Speaker Schuyler Colfax resigned to become Vice President of the United States; Pomeroy's term as a Member of Congress ended the next day. Sam Rayburn and Henry Clay are the only people to have served as Speaker of the House for more than ten years.

Their hyper-knowledgeable staff can help you out whether you’re looking to try some fun new beers, getting into homebrewing, or are an experienced brewer looking to take your equipment to the next level. It’s a bold claim to say a liquor store is one the best places to drink craft beer, but Hi-Lo isn’t just any package store. With locations in Culver City and Long Beach – and a soon-to-open one in Costa Mesa – no one in LA or Orange County is ever too far from one of these shops.
Steamer Basin brews using low-tech, traditional methods to make well-balanced beer that is enjoyable to share and celebrates our place. As well as their year-round beers, Steamer Basin produce small batch seasonal beers using fresh ingredients matched with delicious woodfired pizza. Brewing in Dunedin since 1876 and fed by a natural spring beneath the site, Speight’s is one of the few gravity-fed breweries left in the world.
Expect local favorites like Highland Park Brewery, Beachwood Brewing, Green Cheek Beer, Riip Beer Co., and HopSaint Brewing, in addition to a handful of rare and hard to find beers from around the country. With plenty of space and enough TVs to catch whatever game you’re looking for, House of Billiards is the definition of hidden gem. Beachwood is a full-scale BBQ joint right along the promenade in downtown Long Beach – it also happens to be one of LA’s first craft breweries to make a national impact. After opening in 2010, co-owner/brewmaster Julian Shrago quickly gained recognition for his excellent West Coast style IPAs. They’ve expanded to add locations in Orange County’s Huntington Beach and Garden Grove, as well, with more coming online this year. Topa Topa Brewing started in a tiny space on Thompson Blvd in 2015, and has grown into a beer and hospitality powerhouse, opening up three additional taprooms in Santa Barbara, Ojai, and Camarillo.

The Best Day Trips From Charlotte That the Whole Family Will Love
You might often see a timed race or event happening on a portion of the greenway for one of the many races throughout our city. My kids still enjoy the SEA LIFE Aquarium at 5 and 9, but nowadays, the LEGO store is also a can’t miss destination in their book at Concord Mills as well. Once they have worked up an appetite, we head to the food court area for lunch and also take a ride on the carousel there. We have enjoyed this event twice, once when my oldest was just two-years old and last year when the kids were 8 and 3. One of the most adorable parts of the event is seeing a train full of little kids in their Christmas jammies along with local kids performing as actors in the story.

Weekly sales of the brews – which take place via Eventbrite – frequently sell out within minutes. Homage Brewing, located in downtown Pomona (about 30 miles due east of Downtown LA), rocketed to fame on the backs of their excellent sours and saisons. Both are world-class, and whichever location you’re closer to will leave you happy. There isn’t a style that Highland Park Brewery doesn’t knock out of the park – which is appropriate, considering this Chinatown brewery is a short (and downhill!) walk from Dodger Stadium.

And while new places have opened, closed, and reopened, ESBC’s consistency has cemented their legendary status amongst LA drinkers. Known best for dank, resiny, and highly aromatic West Coast style IPAs, their flagships Mayberry and Broken Skull – a collab with pro wrestler (and ESBC megafan) Stone Cold Steve Austin – are both excellent representations of the style. Their Main St. tasting room has a cult following of friendly locals, and their patio frequently has live music.

It’s little, friendly, welcoming, with live music and a range of local and exotic beverages. A gin bar with so many choices they’re running out of room for glasses to serve them in. As Joni Mitchell would sing, it has 'the whoosh of jungle blades and the crackle of northern ice'.

Hi-Lo Liquor Market – Culver City
When news broke in 2018 that the Jonker family – behind local favorite pizza chain Toppers Pizza – was opening a brewery in a former auto shop, it was anyone’s guess how it would turn out. Their lager program is where the beers really stand out; Clutch, their German style Helles, and Upshift, their hoppy Pilsner are both standouts and go great with a Toppers slice. Bottle & Pint took the bottle shop and taproom concept to Ventura County and never looked back. Newbury Park is the original location, set up in a pretty standard retail shopping center. But it’s the beer list that really stands out, from the 12 rotating taps of tough-to-find beers, to the walk-in beer cooler where you can choose from dozens of beers to drink on-site or buy to-go. El Segundo Brewing Company opened its doors in 2011, one of the first breweries in the South Bay, an area now flooded with high-quality places to drink beer.

Monkish Brewing Co
Located on a giant patio off the LA River Bike Path in Frogtown, Spoke is a great cafe in the daytime. But their smash-hit new project called Spoke Nights is a beer experience for a new generation. Beer buyer Jimmy Smith custom-curates an ever-changing list of ten or so epic, hard-to-find beers from breweries near and far. In addition to local stars like Bottle Logic, Homage Brewing, and Highland Park Brewery, you can find other California Hall of Famers like Moksa Brewing, Alvarado Street Brewing, and Sante Adairius Rustic Ales. Founded in 2015, Bottle Logic is one of the more polarizing breweries in the area. They’re best-known for their heavily-adjuncted pastry stouts, laden with ingredients that read like a dessert menu; molasses, peanut butter, cacao nibs, coconut, coffee, vanilla, and cinnamon are all commonly used.
Dunedin Brewery
Beachwood Brewing is a brewery and taproom located in Downtown Long Beach, serving up... Though most famous for having one of the best beef burgers in town – served on a sub roll with caramelized onions, bleu cheese, and arugula, and absolutely no ketchup – Father’s Office’s beer list is just as good as its burger. With frequent appearances from local favorites like El Segundo Brewing Co, Crowns and Hops, Kern River Brewing, and many more, this is not a place you want to miss on any LA beer tour. The Santa Monica original is an absolute institution, on Montana Ave. since 1953, and is the best of the three locations, but the newer (and bigger) versions in Culver City and the Arts District are worthy alternatives.

Most beer drinkers that discover Enegren Brewing today don’t realize they’ve been holed up in Moorpark, brewing up classic German lagers since way back in 2011. Nowadays, they’re operating out of a much larger facility down the street, serving up beers in their brewery hall and Biergarten alongside neighboring food, wine, coffee, and shopping retailers. Lagers are finally a style that is seeing some love, and as a result, Enegren is making its way to beer bars and bottle shops all around California. Enegren embraces tradition, but they have a good time doing it, eschewing all the old-school pretentious vibes for a beer experience you won’t find anywhere else.
Nothing beats a classic British-style pub on a cool winter's day and the Duke of Wellington is all that and more. This popular inner-city haven offers fab food, local and NZ craft beer, cider and wine. Hunt out No Name Alley and visit Steamer Basin's stylish new taproom, just off Bond Street.
HPB is perhaps most famous for Timbo Pils, a mind-blowing hoppy lager, but their flagship West Coast IPA Hello, LA deserves just as much recognition for its beautiful aromas and restrained, dank, bitterness. Their efforts in New England IPAs, American lagers, spontaneous ferment sours, and barrel-aged heavy hitters are just as impressive. Step into the original location and you'll find a cozy setting with a dive bar charm that exudes a welcoming vibe, while the newer spot offers a vibrant outdoor experience perfect for people-watching and enjoying the fresh air. Both venues provide ample seating options, from indoor spaces to front and back outdoor patios where dogs are welcome, creating a laid-back environment for guests to unwind and socialize.
Although Southern California’s craft beer culture really got off the ground in the 2010s – a decade or so later than other beer hubs in the U.S. – the scene has exploded since then. Once everyone got past the jokes about gluten, the world discovered LA and the surrounding counties have some pretty damn good beer. But when we’re talking about the best, we have to make some tough decisions. They've done alot of renovations the past couple years that have made their patio area much more comfortable. Both avid homebrewers, it was just a matter of time before the HOB started producing Excellent Beers of their own.
After debuting at an impossibly difficult time – January 2021 – this brewery absolutely blew away expectations, earning local acclaim before winning Great American Beer Festival’s Small Brewery of the Year award. Started by three former employees of The Bruery – also on this list – few breweries have consistently produced this high-quality beer so soon after opening as Radiant. They excel across styles, from the toastiest dunkel to the richest pastry stout, and their pale ales really stand out in a saturated market.

Join us for a look inside this one-of-a-kind National Historic Landmark! Perfect for first time visitors or those returning to see The Octagon House again, the one-hour Classic Tour provides a foundational understanding of this iconic house. Fowler’s phrenological follies have a way of oozing into his architectural conjectures. Animal habitations, he writes, correspond perfectly with the characteristics of their residents — for proof, look no further than the “coarse nest” of the equally “coarse-grained” goose! To Fowler, a fine and elegant house signified — and yet was also, somehow, the cause of — the fineness and elegance of its tenants.
Virtual Tour of Octagon House
The next image presents a copy of the book, “The Octagon House A Home for All” by Orson S. Fowler. Fowler originally published this book in 1853 to promote the construction of octagon houses. Also shown are the interior floorplans for both the lower and upper floors of the original house.

Now owned by the Architects Foundation, The Octagon continues to inspire current and future architects, and highlights important moments and movements in American and architectural history. I write of neighbors, and of anecdotes connected with them, for the gratification of my family. He had been induced by his hereditary friend, General Washington, to erect his town house in the Federal city, having previously had an eye to Philadelphia. There was scarcely any pavement, except in front of detached houses.
Hometown Hauntings: The Haunting of Octagon Hall - WBKO
Fowler followed his own advice and built his family’s 70-foot-high, 100-foot-wide, three-story mega-octagon, visible for miles. Though he published his ideas in books with detailed diagrams, Fowler was only moderately successful in solving America’s housing needs. By the end of the century, slightly more than 1,000 octagons were up, exotic additions to American cities and countrysides. In 1844, building a sphere was not technologically possible, but the next best shape, an octagon, was. Fowler reasoned that square corners created useless space but that a form with many angles, pierced with windows, provided just what’s needed, letting in healthy light.

Brian Kramp is checking out the impressive 4 story spiral staircase inside this impressive tourist attraction in Watertown. One of the most celebrated occupants of this house was Carl Carmer, the author, poet and historian. Carmer resided in the house from 1940 to the time of his death in 1976. Major restoration efforts were undertaken in the 1960s and the 1990s, which returned The Octagon to its Tayloe-era appearance. Currently operated by the Architects Foundation, The Octagon offers self-guided tours, permanent and changing exhibitions, public programming, and guided tours by appointment.
Ascending steps with Iron rails to a Portico, there is a large Circular Hall with Marble floor, heated formerly with two Imported Coal Stoves - with a Hat & Coat closet on one side. Passing under an Arch supported by Columns is the main passage with a beautiful Winding Stair way to the top of the house. Near there between on the right, is the door (mahogany) into the Drawing Room 30+20 on 18 Street.
Clowning for Novices: History and Practice With Rose Carver
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 enslaved hundreds of people, and had between 12 and 18 who worked at the Octagon. In 1872, tea importer Joseph Stiner purchased the home as a country retreat. While Armour’s original design for the house adhered strictly to Fowler’s practical philosophies, Stiner turned it into an ornate Victorian folly.
Walking around the home today, which still serves as a private residence, you can see the influences of previous and current owners and the times in which they lived. You might see a TV in one room and a phrenologist bust in the next, a collection of antique tea tins in the kitchen, and a 1930s mystery novel, The Octagon House by Phoebe Atwood Taylor, on a nightstand. He believed in a diet consisting of wheat bread and fruit juice; he contended implausibly that glass was the best material for a home’s roof. If Fowler was an eccentric pebble dropped into the pond of Victorian America, the remaining octagons scattered across the United States are a final faint ripple of his influence. The house served as an important social center in Washington’s early years. When the British burned the White House in 1814, President Madison and his family lived in the Octagon for six months as the city rebuilt.
The design of the Longfellow house was well-suited to a garden lot with a mountain view. At the time of the final move, Pasadena Heritage argued that the Longfellow house should remain in the city of its origin. But the horse was already out of the octagon; Longfellow’s house should never have been moved in the first place from the original location on San Pasqual. Sprawl reached San Pasqual Street, the Longfellow family moved its octagon a mile north to Allen Avenue.
