Welcome to 76 Harrison Street, a unique architectural gem located in the heart of the West End of Providence. Reminiscent of a urban cool Brooklyn NY neighborhood, this condo is one of just a few hundred octagon houses in the country.

The main living room, reading area, dining room and chief's kitchen create a space for entertaining and casual living. The first level also features a full bath with a private shower. Laundry is located in one of two closets closest to the kitchen. The kitchen features stainless steel appliances, gas cooking, gleaming granite counter tops and designer cabinetry. Off the kitchen is a formal dining space that flows into living room area, as well as a fabulous outdoor space for dining and entertaining "el fresco".The second level features two very spacious bedrooms with walls of closets in each of the bedrooms, and new carpeting. A full master bedroom with separate entry into master bath with tile and modern fixtures compliments this retreat. The Armory Revival Company, working with architectural designer Edwin Gregory, conceived and built the octagon house at 68-76 Harrison Street in 1988, adding a unique building type to a neighborhood rich with 19th century architecture. A celebration of work to date in the Armory District was held on August 8, 1988 (8-8-88) in the Octagon House while it was still under construction. A grand piano, with its eighty eight keys, was lifted to the second floor of the house, and octopus was served to the contractors, buyers, investors and neighbors who joined the celebration. The unique design struck a chord with history buffs and laymen alike, earning The Armory Revival Company an award from the Providence Preservation Society and the admiration of local residents.
