Black Point (Linn, Wisconsin)

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. ==History==

It was designed by Adolph Cudell for Conrad Seipp, successful beer maker from Chicago and built in 1888. It was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1994. ==Museum==

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, and the Preserve. In 2013, the site became a property of the state of Wisconsin, and Wisconsin Historical Society. Great grandson of the original owner, William O. Petersen, donated the site in a process beginning in 1993 and was completed on September 26, 2005. ==References==
