Swampscott Fish House
Swampscott Fish House, Maritime storage building in Swampscott, Massachusetts.
The Swampscott Fish House features a rectangular structure with Colonial Revival elements, a hipped roof, and a central pavilion with wood balustrade.
Built in 1896 by architect Henry Wade Rogers, this structure consolidated multiple fishing shanties that previously lined the Fisherman's Beach oceanfront.
The Fish House maintains its original purpose by providing storage units for local fishermen while hosting the Swampscott Yacht Club since 1933.
Located at 391 Humphrey Street, the facility includes first-floor lockers for fisher folk and a third-floor space shared with the sailing program.
This municipally owned fish house stands as the oldest active facility of its kind in the United States, securing its place on the National Register.
