Memorial to Alice Hayes, poet and granddaughter of architect Howard Van Doren Shaw, who designed the Ragdale House as his summer house. Alice first envisaged making Ragdale an artists' community and donated the land to the city of Lake Forest. The writing fellowship I received to attend Ragdale is in her honour.
