Hower House

Ohio · USA · School

She is taken to be one of the Hower women, angry about a husband's infidelity, and she goes for the men.

The Hower House at Akron, Ohio belongs to the university now, and the woman reported in it is understood to be one of the Howers.

The account says she is angry because of her husband's infidelity, and that she frightens male workers and male guests in particular.

A fraternity house nearby is also reported, and the same figure is said to be involved.

A presence that discriminates by sex is uncommon in this collection and it turns up two or three times, always with the same explanation attached. Whether that explanation came first and the pattern followed is a fair question.

The house is a twenty eight room Second Empire mansion built in 1871 by John Henry Hower, who made his money in milling and matches, and the family lived in it for four generations.

It is a museum and is open to visitors.
