Hower House was built and completed in 1871 by John Henry Hower, a leading Akron industrialist who was active in the milling, reaping and cereal industries.

Today, Hower House remains one of the finest and best preserved examples of the Second Empire Italianate style in the country.

This 28 room mansion is capped with a mansard roof and soaring tower, and is filled with hundreds of treasures and furnishings the Hower family collected from around the world.
