It is a two story that resembles a Frank Loyd Wright style with a flat roof.I also have a Geneva Cutlery Corp. stock certificate no. 146 with a par value of $100. It certifies that H.L.

So that's what I've got. I'll be glad to hear any feedback. Got a little ornamental iron job to stop and look at next week and thought I' d look for the house. I

Welcome, nice to know that kind of history about your family. My Dad's family is near you. He grew up in Retsof just up the road from where you are. Actually he spent a lot of his childhood in Geneseo across the valley which is even closer to you. Beautiful country up there.
