South 2nd Street

GENEVA, IL, September 17, 2026 – Keller Williams Inspire announces its Grand Opening and Ribbon Cutting with an Honorary Proclamation by Geneva Mayor Kevin Burns celebrating the history of “Fieldstone” the original Benjamin Warren Dodson home located at 416 S. Second Street in Geneva on Thursday, September 24th at 4:00 PM. The Geneva Historical Museum will be in attendance with photographs and artifacts reflecting the home’s rich history.
This historic home affectionately named, “Fieldstone” was commissioned by Benjamin Warren Dodsen in 1891 and completed in 1892. The architect was W.W. Clay and was constructed with stone quarried directly from the Dodson farm combined with prairie rock in a Gothic style.
The Fieldstone has seen many changes and from 1925 through 1991 served as the Community Hospital serving the local residents. It remains an historic icon throughout the Fox Valley.
About Keller Williams Inspire: Keller Williams Inspire was established in 2016 and marked an exciting chapter in a legacy that dates back into the Fox Valley real estate market. Keller Williams Inspire seamlessly integrated the established infrastructure and agent talent of the former KW Fox Valley Realty office in St. Charles. By uniting these forces under the KW Inspire banner, the brokerage laid the groundwork for a decade of explosive regional growth.

My team and I have supported more than 4,000 students, and we love what we do. Right now: I'm offering a free, full-length PSAT/NMSQT practice test for local juniors on Saturday, September 26th, ahead of the October PSAT. It's proctored just like the real thing, so students get a genuine sense of where they stand, no cost, no pressure. Space is limited; register at My2tor.as.me/PSATNMSQT926.

What makes us different is that we don't just focus on scores, we care about how your student feels walking into that exam. Our goal is simple: turn test-day anxiety into real, measurable confidence.
