The public will be invited to tour the historic Laurel Court mansion on several occasions this spring and summer.

The Beaux-Arts mansion, at 5870 Belmont Avenue (BIRD'S EYE) in College Hill, was completed in 1907 for Champion Coated Paper founder Peter G. Thomson.

The house was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.

The one-hour tours begin Sunday at 1 PM, 2 PM and 3 PM.

Tickets are available at the door for $12 for adults and $6 for children ages 6 to 17. Children under 6 are admitted for free if accompanied by a parent.

Tours sometimes sell out, but a spot can be reserved by visiting the event website.

Future tours are scheduled for May 11, June 21, and June 22.
