Architectural Gem: The Swallow Boathouse of Kona Bay
Moultonborough Village
Just off Moultonborough Neck lies a lakeside treasure: the Swallow Boathouse, built between 1908–1910 on Lake Winnipesaukee. Featuring charming Tudor Revival and Shingle Style elements, this historic boathouse embodies lakeside elegance.
What to admire:
- The intricate timber framing, half-timber accents, and steep-pitched roofline.
- Its waterfront setting in a secluded cove, offering a glimpse into early 20th-century lakeside leisure.
- Though privately owned and not open for tours, visitors on boats or paddle craft can view and photograph it from the water.
