The Wagner Houseboat, also known as The Old Boathouse, is a historic floating home in Seattle, Washington. It is located in Lake Union at 2770 Westlake Avenue, near the Aurora Bridge.[2] Built in 1912, it is named after 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.
As one of Seattle's oldest houseboats, the Wagner Houseboat was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on February 19, 1982.[2]
Today, the Wagner Boathouse commemorates the transition of South Lake Union from industrial use to a residential community.[3] The houseboat is one of few remaining relics of the once-prominent floating resort communities on Lake Washington.[4]
