The Octagon House was built in the Federal architecture style in 1799. President Madison and his wife Dolley lived there after the British burned the White House. This house is said to be one of the most haunted houses inD.C. It is said to be haunted by the families who lived there, Dolley Madison, and even the African American slaves.
