STEPHANIE JONES
Going, going gone. On Monday crews started the demolition of 252 Center St., in Downtown Lake Geneva to make room for a new development. The building was most recently the Thrift-In store. The 252 Center St. building once was the location of the Habecker-Derrick Funeral Home.
The Georges, who own the neighboring Brick & Mortar store at 222 Center St., are planning to construct a new two-story, multi-use building in its place.
By the end of the day Monday, Aug. 16, demolition of the Center Street building was almost complete.

On Monday crews started the demolition of 252 Center St., in Downtown Lake Geneva to make room for a new development. The building was most recently the Thrift-In store. The 252 Center St. building once was the location of the Habecker-Derrick Funeral Home. The Georges, who own the neighboring Brick & Mortar store at 222 Center St., are planning to construct a new two-story, multi-use building in its place. The first floor of the new building is set to include small retail spaces near the entrance. The back of the first floor would feature a showroom and receiving area for the Brick & Mortar store furniture, as well as an area where the furniture for the store would be assembled. The second floor of the building is set to include three 1,100 square-feet spaces that would be used either as apartment units or Airbnb rental spaces.
