The following homes are included on the tour:

• Whitehall - 310 West Earle Street
  The Earle family was among the first settlers of Greenville. It was from Colonel Elias Earle, a state senator, that Governor Henry Middleton, son of a signer of the Declaration of Independence, purchased the land on which he built this home as a summer residence in 1813. In 1820, the property, which consisted of 1,017 acres, was acquired by George Washington Earle, a son of Captain John Earle of Earle�s fort. Their descendents, the Earle and Stone families, have lived in it ever since. Chuck and Rita Stone now reside in this home, and it is one of the oldest homes in Greenville.
• 106 James Street
  This Colonial Revival home was built in 1927 by the Poe family and features a monumental portico with Doric columns and pilasters supporting a pediment with modillions and dentils. The central doorway is flanked by leaded glass sidelights and cornerlights and topped by a leaded glass transom. It retains the original chandeliers and fireplaces in nearly every main room downstairs and coal burning fireplaces in every bedroom upstairs. The front foyer windows still have the original windows with the iron inlay design, and the breakfast room cabinet doors have the same design. The house is owned by Buzz and Cindy Luthi
• 18 East Earle Street
  This home was built in 1928 as a duplex. Today, it is the home of Chuck and Tracey Carnes, their three boys, Gabriel, Malachi and Jonah, and their dog, Samson. The house has 4,800 sq. ft. with 6 bedrooms and 5� baths, tan-colored brick imported from North Carolina, all hardwood floors, 5 working fireplaces, and a full 2,100 sq. ft. basement. The Carnes converted the 800 sq. ft. attic into a playroom, bedroom, and a full bath. The house is decorated by Tracey Carnes herself of �It�s All A Buzz�.
• 314 West Earle Street
  This Charleston-style home has two large porches and was built by Bruce Felton of Sadler/Felton Builders. Susan Reynolds moved into the house in November 2006, and one of the things that sold her on the house was the view of downtown from her second floor porch. Since moving, she has added an outdoor kitchen and a fire pit to the backyard. This house is 3,200 sq. ft. and has 3 bedrooms, 2� baths.
• 101 West Earle Street
  Built ca. 1926, this brick home has an arched entry and gable roof. Originally constructed as the residence of a Baptist minister, the two rooms adjacent to the parlor served as music and reception spaces. Those rooms now function as a sunroom and home office. The den cabinetry and wood trim were custom built by the homeowner as were the screened porch and garage additions. The home is owned by John and Ann Petrich. The family pets, Buddy and Max, greet and guard from behind the antique wrought iron fence.
