Howe Tavern (College Corner, Ohio)

The Howe Tavern is a historic former hotel in the Butler County portion of College Corner, Ohio, United States.

Constructed before the village was founded, it remained a hotel into the late 20th century, and it has been named a historic site.

In 1832, Gideon Sears Howe bought the site of College Corner from Miami University in nearby Oxford; the site was significant for its spot on the road (now U.S. Route 27) connecting Hamilton, Ohio with Richmond, Indiana.

Other settlers began coming before long, and in 1837 Howe platted a town around the tavern, naming it "College Corner".

[2] Built of brick, the tavern rests on a foundation of stone and is covered with a gabled roof.
