Derald M. West is my father, and the architect of the Genoa Theatre. He practiced in Chicago until late 40’s when he opened his own firm in Genoa City until the late 50’s when he moved his practice and his family to Lake Geneva. My dad kept his Lake Geneva practice until the early 90’s when my parents semi-retired to Blowing Rock, NC, where, among many other projects he helped expand the Chetola Resort, along with sports facility, hotel, houses and time share units. He is still a licensed architect today and will be 92 in June!
