Geneva's.
This building was originally the residence of Joseph and Charlotte Simmons. Mr. Simmons moved a building onto the lot in 1887 and remodeled it into this house; he constructed an addition to it in 1890. The next owners were W.W. Black and his sister Ella Mitchell who lived there in 1900 with their widowed mother Sarah Black. Geneva Liebau opened her gift shop there in 1974. The last newspaper mention found for Geneva's was in December 2003.
