Tomorrow from 1 to 5 p.m. tour-goers will get a chance to visit five houses in the Heights, including an 1860′s brick house with restored 19th-century architectural details a noteworthy collection of Biedermeier furniture collection. Also on the tour: A 150-year-old sanctuary of the Zion German Evangelical Lutheran Church with stained-glass windows and recently restored ceiling murals. Reservations are recommended, at (718). 858-9193 and brooklynheightsassociation.org. Tickets, $30, on the day of the tour only, starting at 12:30 p.m. at 129 Pierrepont Street (near Clinton Street). Unfortunately, no kids under 13 are allowed (except for infants in front packs) so we’re not going to be making it. (We somehow made it through the Fort Greene tour with our one-year-old in a backpack without incident.) Can someone please take a picture for us of the triple-wide garden that is supposed to be on the tour!
