The property was going for $2.2 million in March 2012.

The going price of the former Mill Race Inn has been dropped more than $1.3 million since last year, according to various real estate sites. The iconic Geneva restaurant has been closed now for more than two years, and the property still sits vacant, awaiting an owner. The property at 4 E.

Visions for Vacancies

What Should Go Into the Old Hubbard's Ethan Allen?

Visions for Vacancies: One of Batavia's landmark buildings is still looking for a new tenant. What would be the highest and best possible use for the former 12,500-square-foot showroom in downtown Batavia?

It's gone now, sadly. After 101 years, Batavia's oldest business closed back in October 2011, and its 12,500-square-foot showroom at 16 N. Batavia Ave. still is on the market today, according to LoopNet. Some of the features?
