Black Point is an estate on the south shore of Geneva Lake in Wisconsin, United States, built in 1888 as a summer home by Conrad Seipp, a beer tycoon from Chicago. [2] It has also been known as Conrad and Catherine Seipp Summer House and as Die Loreley [1]
The Queen Anne style mansion features a nautical-themed, four-story, " crow's nest" observation tower, which can be seen from many points on the lake; the property also features post-civil war-era furniture.
It was designed by Adolph Cudell. It was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1994. [1]
The state of Wisconsin owns the property and leases it to the Black Point Historic Preserve, a nonprofit organization which manages the property for public tours, which began in June 2007. [3]
The estate and its grounds, including 620 feet of shoreline, are protected from future development by a conservation easement co-held by the Geneva Lake Conservancy, a local not-for-profit conservation organization, [4] and the Preserve. [5]
