Similar, but less ornate homes were built up through the early 1900s. The most notable is the still unfinished Longwood plantation in Natchez, MS. The Zelotes Holmes House in Laurens is the only other one in SC. A complete list of the 68 octagon homes still remaining can be found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_octagon_houses.
