The George Howland house at 301 Silver Road, town of Arcadia, Wayne county was built in 1835. Howland, the original owner, was a successful farmer and one time supervisor of the town of Arcadia in the 1840s. It is a fine example of Greek Revival architecture. A former owner decided to replace the two original windows facing the road with a modern picture window that altered its original intended appearance. Richard Palmer email 6/0/2020.
