View of the Geneva Beach Hotel from Lake Geneva with people standing at the top of the hill and on the dock in front of the hotel. There is a man rowing a boat in the lake. In 1896, J.L. Dickinson acquired the Alexandria Hotel at Geneva Beach from Mr. Letson, an early resort builder, and changed the name to the Geneva Hotel. The Hotel burned in Sept 2 1911. It was thought that the "new fangled" electric lights was the cause.
View of Lakeside Pavilion from the south, the changing house for the public beach, and people assembling for an event at the pavilion are visible in the background.
