Too bad, these are all the same houses that were on the tour last year. They were lovely, but they should be different each year.

This was a great article, however, the print piece in today's (Sep 27) "Happening Today" which refers to the Tour is wrong in a several respects. (1) Tickets can be purchased at the Community of Christ Church starting at noon today (not 11:30); (2) once you have a ticket you can start the Tour at any of the featured stops (not just the Church); and (3) the article's reference to the former name of the Church ("Reorganized Church...") is many years out of date. The Old West Side Association appreciates the participation of the Community of Christ Church in their annual Homes Tour.

I went to the open house for 220 Kenwood when it was on the market a few years ago. It's not too often I see a house that I like almost as much as my own. This one has the most beautiful original kitchen I have seen--with its original cabinets, subway tiles, and beautiful floor tiles. I can't wait to see it again.
