The Richard Howe House, located at 315 E. Logan Ave. in Emporia, Kansas, was built in about 1866-67. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.[1]

It was deemed notable for "its historical association with the development of Emporia, Kansas (est. 1857) and for its architectural significance as a rare, extant example of a first settlement period limestone structure."[2]

It was built by stonemason Richard Howe (1825-1910). It is a two-story, three-bay, gable roofed limestone building with vernacular style, with elements of Federal and Greek Revival architecture.[2]
