In the beginning…
The Grace Episcopal Churchwomen would like to thank Marti Smith for having
the brilliant idea 16 years ago that a great way to raise funds, while at
the same time restoring the rectory, would be to have a showcase house.
At the time, none of us knew anything about a showcase house or where to
begin. However, a little over one year later, with Marti’s help and the
help of designers who had been involved in other show houses, the GEC
presented “The Rectory” in the fall of 1988.
Today we thank
hundreds of volunteers, both parishioners and non-parishioners, who
support our project and bring to you “The Hinckley House” our 10th
featured estate. Our established tradition, held biennially, provides
us an opportunity to participate in the restoration and preservation of
a vintage Hinsdale home, support local commerce, showcase talented
designers, and most importantly, raise funds for families and children
in need. It is a great community building experience.
We
hope that you enjoy your visit to this wonderful home, your attendance as
our guests is what truly makes this project a success, and we sincerely
thank you again for your support.
