THE RIVIERA
812 S. Wrigley Drive
Lake Geneva, Wisconsin
Architect James Roy Allen designed this Italian Renaissance Revival-Style reception hall during the Great Depression. The project was initiated by Lake Geneva city authorities and funded with public bonds to generate employment.
It juts out into the beautiful Geneva Lake tight downtown and is one wonderful sight to see.
The two-story brick building boasts corner towers, a hipped ceramic tile roof and symmetrical facades. Inside a central parquet dance floor is surrounded by a promenade containing towers housing restrooms and facilities. Outside, a landscaped grassy area and wooden piers extend out over Geneva Lake.
