Black Point
| View up brick path towards the exterior of the Conrad Seipp summer home at Black Point on Geneva Lake. A horse-drawn wagon is parked in front; a dog stands on the drive near the wagon. The family named the house "The Loreley" when it was built in 1888, but after 1921 simply used the name Black Point for the house as well as the property. The Queen Anne style house has a tall tower and multiple porches. The wing to the far right, referred to as the laundry house, served as a temporary dwelling for the Seipp family while the house was being built. It contained the kitchen and servants' quarters as well as laundry facilities. |
