Howey Mansion is named after William John Howey, who founded Howey in the Hills.
The house was designed by architect Katharine Cotheal Budd from 1925 to 1927.[2] On January 27, 1983, it was added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places.
On April 12, 2017, the house was listed for sale at $480,000.[3] It reportedly attracted widespread attention, with prospective buyers traveling hundreds of miles to see the home. More than 10 offers[4] were made on the home after just 9 days on the market.
The new owners,[5] Brad and Clay Cowherd, Orlando real estate investors and entrepreneurs, have made progress on a period-accurate restoration of the house. It will be a venue for weddings and events.[6]
