The Minnesota Boat Club Boathouse on Raspberry Island is a historic structure in Saint Paul, Minnesota, United States. It is the home of the Minnesota Boat Club, a rowing club founded in 1870, that is Minnesota's oldest athletic organization. In 1885, a wooden structure was built on Raspberry Island to house the Minnesota Boat Club.[2] The club constructed a new boathouse in 1910, which was designed by George H. Carsley in the style of Mission Revival architecture.[2] The boathouse building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.[3][4]
