South Fountain Historic District Tour
of Homes
The South
Fountain Historic District Tour of Homes is one of Ohio’s foremost
heritage tours, featuring one of the best collections of historic and
architecturally significant houses in the Midwest. This tour showcased ten homes and gardens, from an 1882 Stick-Eastlake house just
beginning its renovation to recently restored Carpenter Gothic,
Italianate, and Arts and Crafts houses. Participants experienced
Victorian America firsthand through several period houses, saw the latest interior
fashions by area decorators, and learned about the Underground Railroad at
the historic Gammon House, currently under restoration. This tour marked
South Fountain Preservation, Inc.’s eleventh year sponsoring this
self-guided walking tour through houses rarely open to the public.
