The Boat House and Boat Ramp were built in 1905 for a surf boat used by light keeper Oscar Brown, whose primary means of transportation and communication was by rowboat. Several times per week he rowed to Tacoma for mail, supplies, and music concerts, and Murray Morgan recalled Oscar Brown bringing a young calf from Tacoma in his boat. Brown also used the boat for lighthouse chores when high tide covered the mud flat between the house and the lighthouse. In 1961, the United States Coast Guard removed all boats from lighthouse sites, and when the Points Northeast Historical Society renovated the former Crew Quarters building for a History Center in 1991, the light keeper's boat was gone from the boat house. In 1993-1994, shipwright Mike Vlahovich was contracted to build a 16 foot wood Coast Guard surf boat replica, and with community contributions and many volunteers the vessel was completed as park visitors and school children watched. The surf boat Browns Point was christened and launched during the 1994 Browns Point Salmon Bake. The Oil House, the corrugated metal building behind the Boat House, originally stood a few yards from the first wood frame lighthouse and stored kerosene, gasoline, and paint solvents to reduce the risk of lighthouse fire. When electricity came to Browns Point in the early 1920s, kerosene was no longer needed for the lighthouse lantern, so the building was moved to its present location, where it continued to be used for fuels and paints and became known as the Paint Shed.
