The Marcus Meyer Skinner House, also known as the Howorth House, is a historic house in Selma, Dallas County, Alabama. 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]
