A. Wynn Howell (born Albert Wynn Howell; March 24, 1912 – May 31, 1989) was an architect with his own firm,, in Lakeland, Florida from 1952 to 1965.[1] He became an architect via private study and a seven-year apprenticeship to three successive established architects in the central Florida area immediately after World War II.[1] He was a member of the American Institute of Architects (AIA) from 1954 to 1967 and in 1973. He was vice-president of its Central Florida chapter during 1958–59 and president during 1960–61. He was director of the entire Florida Association of Architects during 1962–63.[1]
His self-selected notable buildings,[1] all in central Florida, were Rochelle Junior and Senior High School, Lakeland (1955); Saint Agnes Episcopal Church, Sebring (1959); Saint Edward's Episcopal Church, Mount Dora (1959); Lincoln Avenue Elementary School, Lakeland (1960); Placid Tower,[2] Lake Placid (1960); and University Lutheran Church, Gainesville (1961).[1] The last building listed, University Lutheran Church, has been selected by Envision Heritage of the University of Florida for digital preservation. In 1953, he proposed a design for the Citrus Tower in Clermont with two observation floors supported by a giant cylinder that visitors could walk up using an external spiral stairway – it was rejected.
Howell was born in Elba, Alabama.[1] He retired and moved to Menlo Park, California in 1966. He died in Kershaw, South Carolina and is buried in Quaker Cemetery, Camden, South Carolina.
