Appreciated from afar, the heavy stonework of the Higgins House octagonal tower, vertical lines of its five chimneys, and exposed beams evokes a grandeur seldom found among architecture today. Massive oaks and tall pines, shielding the house from the outside world, add to its elusive magnitude.

See "Hidden Treasures", the last segment of this feature on the Higgins House architecture, for an up-close look at its many intricate details, including more information about the breathtaking exterior.
