The House of the Seven Gables built in the 1880s is an historic octagonal house located on the corner of Clark and Bloxham streets, North West, in Mayo, Florida, USA. After reading ''The House of the Seven Gables'' by Nathaniel Hawthorne, James Mitchell designed this house and had it built by Mack Koon. Seven of the eight sides are gabled, while the eighth side opens into a rear wing. As built, the house had three bedrooms and a parlor in the octagon section and cooking and dining areas in the wing. Dr. Charles Hailey of the University of Florida cites it as an example of the adaptation of "Florida 's small-town vernacular structures, 'minor monuments'", which are worthy of research. 〔''A Guide to Florida's Historic Architecture'', 1989, Gainesville: University of Florida Press, p. 47, ISBN 0-8130-0941-3〕〔(Nexus Network Journal - House of the Seven Gables, Mayo, Florida )〕〔(University of Florida, faculty biography - Charles Hailey, Assistant Professor of Architecture )〕 In 1989, it was listed in ''A Guide to Florida's Historic Architecture'' prepared by the Florida Association of the American Institute of Architects and published by the University of Florida Press.〔 ==Gallery== Image:Mayo FL Ho7G02.jpg| Image:Mayo FL Ho7G03.jpg| Image:Mayo FL Ho7G04.jpg| Image:Mayo FL Ho7G05.jpg| 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「House of the Seven Gables (Mayo, Florida)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
