8. Boy and Girl with Birdbaths_Dorothy Hobbs Boehm

Boy and Girl with Bird Baths by Dorothy Hobbs Boehm was commissioned by the Lake Forest Garden Club and completed in 1976. The statues were then installed in the small garden in front of the Gorton Community Center’s porte-cochère. The two figures, which Boehm modeled after her own children, appear to be collecting flowers in the garden, their flower baskets doubling as bird baths. The garden, owned by the Lake Forest Garden Club, was recently restored to appear as it did in the 1970s thanks to generous donations from members of the Club.
