The 2012 Short North Tour of Homes
& Gardens showcases 10 neighborhood treasures.
On Saturday
and Sunday, September 15 and 16, home improvement and landscaping
enthusiasts are invited to explore some beautiful and unique spaces in
the historic Short North neighborhood at the 2012 Short North Tour of
Homes & Gardens, presented by the Short North Civic Association and
Keller Williams Classic Properties.
This yearʼs
tour features 10 locations, including the century-old residence of Ken
Brushaber and Sue Nicholson, who spent 11 years restoring and adding on
to their property, and the updated condo of Jason Hunt, part of a
development created by former Buckeye football player Curly Morrison in
which each function of the home has its own floor.
Tour attendees
will also get an intimate look at innovative projects in-progress, such
as developer Connie Klemaʼs latest effort, tall, narrow single-family
homes on the edge of I-670 with four-story floor plans and a car
“elevator” for stacked parking. The first residence completed by Bruce
Shumard and Eddie Hambrick in a 10,000 square foot former manufacturing
facility is also included; along with a behind-the-scenes peek at the
long-vacant Garden Theater, which is on the road to becoming a
state-of-the-art performance facility through the efforts of the
nonprofit Short North Stage.
The preview
tour, sponsored by List Columbus, begins at 4 p.m. on Saturday,
September 15. The $100 ticket includes a cocktail reception and a
chef-created dinner in a lovely private neighborhood home. Preview
guests will be among the first to see another up-and-coming local
development, the in-progress microbrewery and event space Seventh Son
Brewing Company, site of this yearʼs reception.
The general
tour is from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Sunday, September 16. Tickets for
Sunday are $15 in advance, $20 day of tour, and include access to a
trolley shuttle bus for easy traveling between tour stops. Advance
tickets are available at Spinelli’s Deli, 767 Neil Avenue, and online
at tickets.shortnorthcivic.org. Day-of-tour tickets will be available
only at Spinelli’s Deli.
