In recognition of the historic architecture of these residences, the Covington Heritage Foundation and the City of Covington are sponsoring “Holly and History,” a candlelight tour of 11 homes 54

on Sunday, December 6, from 4 to 8 p.m. The homes, built between 1895 and 1920, are within walking distance of each other on 22nd, 23rd and 24th avenues near Covington’s downtown. Luminaries will light up the neighborhood as holiday music, caroling and jazz combos entertain the crowd. A booklet that focuses on the first owners of the homes will be given to those on the tour. >>
