The University of Akron Hower House [OH]
The Hower House was completed in 1871. Designed in the Second Empire Italianate style, the floor plan of the home would become known as the Akron Sunday School Plan, as it would be featured in churches across the United States. Today, the Tower House serves as a historic house museum, and is one of the best preserved examples of its architectural style in the country.
The home offers guided tours and an annual Victorian Fair. The website offers a history of the home, visitor information, and information regarding upcoming events.
