UPDATE: Wow, there has been a fast response to this post, but I knew people would like this. I talked to Elaine and when she returns from her upcoming vacation, we will plan an open house with Smith Village so people can come in to see this. It will likely be early August, so stay tuned. – Carol Flynn
PS – Elaine Spencer, by the way, lives in Smith Village and is on the Residents Council, if that is the proper name of the organization unit.
The late Jack Simmerling, artist and historian, and a founding member of the Ridge Historical Society, painted a mural on the wall of one of the dining areas at Smith Village that pretty much summarizes the history of the Beverly and Morgan Park communities.
Elaine Spencer, past President of RHS, and I recently viewed it for the umpteenth time and here are some pictures. (That's Elaine from the back.)
If you've never seen this in person, you should do so.
