The George F. Lee Octagon Houses were built by farmer and carpenter George F. Lee south of Nebraska City, Nebraska near the Missouri River. The first one constructed was a frame octagon house, whose date of construction is unknown; the second, a brick octagon house, was built in 1872 across the road from the first.[2]

On November 23, 1977, they were added to the National Register of Historic Places. Only the wooden house survives.[3]
