The Armour-Stiner House, also known as the Carmer Octagon House, is a unique octagon-shaped and domed Victorian style house in Irvington, in Westchester County, New York. It is reported to be the only domed octagonal residence in the world, and was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1976.^[2],^[3],^[4]

The design is based on the architectural ideas of Orson Squire Fowler, although the specific architect of the house is unknown. It was built during 1859-1860. The dome was added and it was enlarged during 1872-1876, and it was restored inside and out, after 1976. It is now a private residence. It is located on the south side of W. Clinton Avenue, on the crest of a hill overlooking the Hudson River, to the west. The Croton Aqueduct, another National Historic Landmark, abuts on the east.

The octagonal house can be clearly observed in the Google map service's satellite view (open [[1]], enter "W. Clinton Ave., Irvington, NY", zoom in to the street area, and then select Satellite view). The underground line of the Croton Aqueduct is visible running perpendicular to W. Clinton Ave.
