Does anyone know if that big
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.
House Tour
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.
Okay. Thanks for the reply.
Here's a stupid question...
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.

Home Tour
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
You may bump into me! Hope we're walking when you do!
