Late artist and alumni of Art Institute of Chicago, Mary Nohl used her backyard as an art gallery to display her concrete creations. Dotting the garden are eccentric sculptures and statues of figurines and fauna. This whimsical art gave her beachside home the nickname “the Witch’s House” and received opposition and demolition threats. In 2005, however, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
