Clifton House Tour
Sunday May 10, 2009, 1-5pm
Every third year on Mother’s Day, a group of Clifton homeowners open their doors to greater Cincinnati and say, “Come on in and have a look around!” This year there will be homes from the 1800s to the 1950s highlighting several different styles, including Victorian, American Foursquare, Tudor, and a Frank Lloyd Wright. The event has drawn people from all over Cincinnati, and has been a great way to spend part of Mother’s Day.
Throughout the tour’s history, the gracious owners of 62 Clifton homes have shared this special Sunday with their neighbors.
Tickets can be purchased the day of the tour at CCAC, Annunciation, and the shuttle stop outside Graeter’s. Parking will be available at the Clifton Business Lot, Annunciation, and Fairview-Clifton Elementary School on Clifton Avenue. Ticket prices are $15 in advance and $20 on the day of the tour.
A shuttle will be available from each parking location to shorten your walking time and improve your chances of a leisurely viewing of all the homes.
For more information about the tour, call 513-861-2000.
