OUR LEGACY

A celebrated history.

Since 1985, the Lake Forest Chapter of the IWS Family Health has staged the region's signature designer showhouse in some of the North Shore's most beautiful homes — raising more than $6 million for family healthcare along the way.

THE HOUSES

A Legacy of Remarkable Homes

Each showhouse has offered a unique glimpse into Lake Forest's most distinguished estates and residences.
