Celebrating Lilian J. Rice

Join the Women’s Museum of California at a benefit reception and luncheon in honor of renowned architect Lilian J. Rice, credited with designing Rancho Santa Fe, one of the first master-planned communities in California.

Keynote speaker is Diane Y. Welch, Rice’s official biographer and author of two books about the architect. The event includes a wine reception and lunch at The Inn at Rancho Santa Fe, the first building designed by Rice in the 1920s. Attendees will receive a copy of Welch’s book Lilian J. Rice, Architect of Rancho Santa Fe, California.
