Frank Lloyd Wright's Fontana Boathouse

Frank Lloyd Wright originally designed his Boathouse for the University of Wisconsin in 1905. It took a dedicated philanthropic group of rowers to bring the Boathouse to life on the shores of Buffalo’s Black Rock Canal in 2007. Frank Lloyd Wright considered his Boathouse to be one of his finest designs, and historians and tourists agree. This unique venue is available to host your event. The Fontana Boathouse features some of Wright’s classic design elements. Large beams run along the ceilings, naturally guiding guests from one space to the next. Arts and crafts style lighting fixtures adorn the stairwells and are reflected in the building’s windows on the second floor. The Boathouse is an architectural destination to be explored and enjoyed.
