Georgia Girl,
Nice post! I'm hoping local photographers get out there and take a lot of photos to show here! :)

Does anyone know if that big house on the corner will be in the tour this year? I think it is behind Hardee's, in that area, and they recently put up a black iron fence around it. Sorry, I don't know the street names. Anyway, I'd like to see that house. The last time I went on the tour a few years back, it wasn't one of the homes being shown. Thanks.
That is the Sewell Howard house owned by Nick and Betty Barrett. It is still under a lot of renovation and will not be a house on the tour...
Okay. Thanks for the reply.
Does everyone walk to each house, ride in their personal car, or is there a group shuttle of some sort?
I have no idea how far it is between each home.

Three of the houses are on S. Chamberlain and are within easy walking distance, in the same block I think. The ones on Front and Kingston Ave. will have to be driven to, ( a short drive) and within easy walking distance of each other also. Parking is usually very accessable along the streets near the houses. Come on and enjoy........Ray
