Description
In addition to tours of four architecturally significant Lake Forest homes, this year?s Winter Wonderwalk & Holiday Boutique benefit for Woodlands Academy of the Sacred Heart offers a first-hand look at the transformation the former Barat College?s library building, designed by architect Dirk Lohan (grandson of Ludwig Mies van der Rohe), has undergone. Renamed the Gloria Dei Center as part of Woodlands Academy?s recently dedicated expanded campus, the facility will host Boutique shopping events all three days of this year?s Winter Wonderwalk, Thursday, Dec. 10, through Saturday, Dec. 12. A Boutique preview party themed ?Let it Snow? will be held Thursday, Dec. 10, from 5 to 8:30 p.m. featuring cocktails and hors d? oeuvres, first-look shopping, door prizes and more. Also new this year, the Housewalk tours are scheduled on a Friday (Dec. 11 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.). Friday?s Boutique hours from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. offer a full day of shopping.
