ALTON - A painting of the Lucy Haskell Playhouse will hang in Alton City Hall after the community came together to restore it. When Third Ward Alderman Ray Strebel found the painting in storage, he contacted Chair of the Alton Historical Commission Douglas Bader. Strebel and Bader decided to raise money to restore the painting. Bader said the goal was to honor artist Ruth Means and commemorate the Haskell Playhouse’s 50th anniversary on the National Register of Historic Places. The community is invited to a ceremony to celebrate the restoration. “We looked at this as sort of a three-fold project,” Bader explained. “One, we were going to be able to restore the painting. It was also going to be a way to honor the painter Ruth Means, who was a prolific painter, well-known in Alton.
