The Capt. George Scott House, also known as the Octagon House and the Collar Box House, is a historic octagon house located on Federal Street in Wiscasset, Maine. Built in 1855, this masonry structure features a unique octagonal design with a cupola at its center and original interior features, including remnants of a dumbwaiter.

Inspired by the octagon house design promoted by Orson Squire Fowler in the 19th century, the Capt. George Scott House was home to notable residents such as George Scott, a successful ship's captain, and Edith Augusta Sawyer, a children's book author. Added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1972, this architectural gem stands as a testament to the construction fad of octagon houses in the mid-1800s.
