Charles B. Wells House, constructed in 1850 in the Greek Revival, is one of Geneva’s most distinguished structures. It is built in the form of a temple, two and one-half stories, with a full Doric portico and four engaged pilasters. It has a full gable pediment over a high entablature, and the architrave and frieze are separated by a line of fine dentil molding. A local Geneva carpenter channeled the Doric columns. The original frame siding was covered with stucco about the turn of the century. The Wells House was purchased by Dr. Raymond Scott in 1891 and established Colonial Hospital, which remained in the house until 1925. In 1952, the house was converted for commercial use.- (courtesy Geneva Historical Society)
