The Wilcox Octagon House is a historic home in Camillus, New York, USA, that was built in 1856 and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.[1] It was the farmhouse home of Isaiah Wilcox, who had a 40-acre (160,000 m2) farm. It is an octagon house of the type advocated by Orson Fowler, who wrote an influential book promoting use of octagonal home designs.[2]

The Orchard Village neighborhood now occupies the majority of the old farm's land; the house remains on a plot of less than 1-acre (4,000 m2).[2]

It is located at 5420 West Genesee Street in Camillus.[1]
