What style are the homes on the tours? 
  Homes in Savannah vary in age, size, and style.  Most are high-stooped with 8 to 12 steps to climb for entry and are not handicapped accessible.  These homes are private residences, so interior design may range from period, to traditional, to contempory, and to modern.
