Short North Tour of Homes Highlights the New and Historic

Held on Sept. 20 and 21, the tour has 11 stops, including the Leafy Dale building (now called The Dennison), which will soon transform into apartments complete with a rooftop terrace, and the Morehouse building, a 10,000-square-foot former warehouse that now houses three condos and courtyards.
