The Oak Park River Forest Infant Welfare Society's 2008 Showcase House
The 2008 Showcase House, from which proceeds benefit The Children’s Clinic, is a must see on the inside. It’s full of surprises! This year’s house is a 30-year-old classic English-style brick and stone house, completely rebuilt over the last two years. But the house comes alive through the creativity of 15 area designers who are volunteering their talents and resources to transform the 18-room home into an elegant show of interior design. With 12,000 sq. ft. the house features five bedrooms, six bathrooms, and the magic continues in the lower level. Some of the “extras” in this year’s showcase house include a movie theatre (including box office) and an authentic English pub. Organized and sponsored by the Oak Park River Forest Infant Welfare Society, the 2008 Showcase House opens September 7 and continues 21 days in September. Guests will be treated to a tour of the house and grounds and can shop in a boutique market that features 30 regional artisans, designers and vendors.
The Infant Welfare Society raises funds to support The Children’s Clinic which provides health and dental care to underserved children throughout 50 communities.
