The Coliseum Square Association announced their upcoming tour of homes in the Lower Garden District, happening Oct. 18. Here's the homes you will be legally allowed to walk around in for a day.

↑1544 Camp St. The condo of Andrew E. Nelson, National Geographic Traveler writer and Loyola University professor, is housed in an 1857 mansion.
