Hower House is a Second Empire Italianate structure,
built in
1871 by Akron Industrialist,
John Henry Hower and his wife,
Susan Youngker Hower.
The designer of this 28-room
Victorian Mansion was Jacob Snyder, a noted Akron architect, perhaps best known for his
part in developing the “Akron Plan,” a floor plan widely used in church constructions locally
and across the United States between 1870 and 1917.
This elegant home is filled with unique treasures and
furnishings collected by the Hower
Family during their travels around the world.
Hower House is open for public and private tours, as well as group
tours. |

The House is open 11 months per year and offers a
variety of
exhibits and programs.
Hower House remains one of the finest and best
preserved examples
of its style in the country and is
on the National Historic Landmark registry.
