TOLEDO, Ohio — A classic Toledo landmark plans a special holiday celebration this year.
The Libbey House Foundation is hosting tours of the decorated home on Dec. 2, Dec. 3 and Dec. 4.
The Edward D. Libbey House, 2008 Scottwood Ave., was the home of Edward and Florence Scott Libbey. The 1895 home is a standout among the Old West End's early 20th-century Victorian homes and mansions.
