In one illustration, the Fabyan windmill in Geneva, IL, It was during its $914,000 restoration that was completed in has been in operation since the nineteenth century. The 2005 that the local community and engineering scholars began mill itself was originally built by German craftsman Louis appreciating its uniqueness. Blackhaus in collaboration with German, Dutch and Swedish “The Fabyan windmill mill workers between 1850–1860.

  • Historic Preservation Commission 22 S
    CITY OF GENEVA HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION 22 S. FIRST STREET GENEVA, ILLINOIS 60134 HISTORIC PRESERVATION IN GENEVA, ILLINOIS Geneva is blessed with a rich architectural heritage. Many buildings represent several architectural styles prevalent in the Midwest between the 1840's and the early 1900's. Styles found here in Geneva include examples of Greek Revival, Italianate, Queen Anne, Gothic Revival, Stick Style, Colonial Revival and Prairie. Many of Geneva’s older buildings 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. Below are frequently asked questions (FAQs) about historic preservation in Geneva and the Historic Preservation Commission (HPC). What is the Geneva Historic Preservation Commission? The HPC is a seven member board that is appointed by the Mayor and City Council. When does the HPC meet? The HPC meets at 7:00 p.m. on the third Tuesday of each month in the Council Chambers at City Hall, 109 James Street. When was the HPC established? What is its purpose? The HPC was established in 1982 when the City of Geneva adopted a preservation ordinance, similar to those enacted in other municipalities across the United States. The purpose of the HPC is to protect buildings and neighborhoods in the City which have special historic, architectural, and cultural character. The HPC is responsible for the review and approval of exterior projects on historic properties.
