Black Point is an estate on the south shore of Geneva Lake in Wisconsin, built in 1888 as a summer home by Conrad Seipp, a beer tycoon from Chicago. [ [http://www.lakegenevawi.com/mansions_past.htm Lake Geneva website re mansions] ]

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 is included in the National Register of Historic Places.

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. [ [http://www.cruiselakegeneva.com/bptours.php Lake Geneva tour website] ]

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, [ [http://www.genevalakeconservancy.org Geneva Lake Conservancy website] ] and the Preserve.
