According to the Historic Marker:
An antebellum landmark built by Andrew Jackson Caldwell, an ardent advocate of the southern cause. Many Confederate soldiers found shelter here. Bricks were made, wood cut and finished, stone was quarried on the place. The house erected by Caldwell and his men, has three floors, with four large rooms, a hall and stairway. Large basement provided hiding place.
This historic home is now open as a Civil War museum. It is located north of Franklin, KY along US31. Today, it is on the National Register of Historic Places. There are only four of these eight sided homes remaining in America.
In time for Halloween, it's also home of many ghost stories:
