The Marcus Meyer Skinner House, also known as the Howorth House, is a historic house in Selma, Alabama, United States. The large two-story Tudor Revival-style house was built in 1928 for Marcus Meyer Skinner, a renowned surgeon and native of nearby Furman. It was designed by one of Alabama's leading architects of the day, Frank Lockwood.[2]
Architectural historians consider the house to be an excellent example of early 20th-century domestic Tudor Revival architecture and among the best examples of the style in the Black Belt region of Alabama.[2] It was added to National Register of Historic Places on August 27, 1987.[1]
