Augustus Howland House is a historic home located at 1395 Sherwood Road in Sherwood in Cayuga County, New York. It is a "distinctive high-style Italianate" dwelling built about 1850. It is a 2+1⁄2-story, six bays wide and three bays deep, heavy timber frame dwelling, topped by a low pitched hipped roof. It is sheathed in clapboard and features a two bay wide front pavilion. Included in the listing are four contributing barns (on the south side of Sherwood Road), a laundry building, and two hitching posts.[2]

The Howlands were Quakers, and Augustus Howland donated land for the nearby North Street Friends Meetinghouse.[2]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2008.[1]
