Wagner Houseboat
The Wagner Houseboat, also known as The Old Boathouse, is a historic floating home in Seattle, Washington, United States. It is located on Lake Union at 2770 Westlake Avenue North near the Aurora Bridge. It was built in 1912 and named for Richard Wagner, who bought it in the 1950s. Wagner and his wife Colleen later founded the Center for Wooden Boats, which was based out of their houseboat. Today, the Wagner Boathouse represents the transition of South Lake Union from industrial use to a residential community. The houseboat is also one of few remaining relics of the floating resort communities that were once prominent on Lake Washington.As one of Seattle's oldest houseboats, the Wagner Houseboat was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on February 19, 1982.
