Practically hidden from view is the cobblestone attachment to the wooden frame house at 5502 South Geneva Road just north of the intersection with Brick Church Road. Over the years it was owned by the Walhizer and Cornwall families. It is constructed of multi-colored field stones. The wooden frame house was a later addition. As a note, there was once a cobblestone house on the west side of South Geneva Road near the intersection of Stell Road now gone.
