Historic Preservation in Geneva

Geneva's Architectural Heritage

Geneva is blessed with a rich architectural heritage. Many homes represent several architectural styles prevalent in the Midwest between the 1840's and the early 1900's. Those styles found here in Geneva include examples of Greek Revival, Italianate, Queen Anne, Gothic Revival, Stick Style, Colonial Revival and some Prairie influence. Many of the older houses are of a common vernacular and built in some part with locally quarried stone found along the river. These separate styles blend together to create an atmosphere of refined and understated elegance, perhaps reflecting the taste of the New England roots of Geneva's earliest settlers.
