  • 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.

Born in post-Civil War America, Wright was a child of the rural Midwest whose life was transformed by Chicago. Here he arrived at age nineteen, determined to become an architect of great distinction in a city of great architects immersed in building a new Chicago in the midst of dynamic change and progressive thinking. His lifetime spanned the modern era, from the Avant-Garde movements of the early 20th century to the height of Modernism by mid century. He fulfilled his ambition, creating the Prairie style, a uniquely American architecture, and continuously recreating his original design vision to the very end of his long life and career. During 2017 the Trust will collaborate with many businesses, cultural organizations, and civic agencies Cover photo: Frank Lloyd Wright at age 3, ca. 1870 to recognize Wright’s legacy in Chicago, where the Collection of the Frank Lloyd Wright Trust majority of his built works remain today.
