The Howatt House, also known as the R.H. Cameron House, is a historic residence in Crapaud, Prince Edward Island, built in 1893 for Richard Hudson Cameron by master carpenter Nathan MacFarlane. This 2½-story home, designed in the Stick style (a variation of Queen Anne Revival architecture), is valued for its fine craftsmanship, rare architectural style, and contribution to the heritage character of Crapaud. Key features include its steeply pitched roofline, brick chimney, and two-story projecting bays on the front elevation. The house was later occupied by the Howatt family, who maintained its historical and architectural significance.
