The House at 17 Cranston Street is a dodecagonal or 12-sided shaped home on Cedar Hill in the Jamaica Plain neighborhood of Boston. The house was built by Archibald and John Scott, who could have been brothers from Scotland, cousins from Nova Scotia or business partners from Boston. Archibald Scott is said to have been a craftsman in an organ factory or a carpenter who lived near an organ factory. A recent owner of the house has found evidence to support any of the theses scenarios. Either way, it is an unusual 12-sided house with 6-side rooms, a hexagonal cupola and hexagon details throughout. - AsNotedIn
