Boathouses: Architecture at the Water's Edge

More about the book

Featuring 260 stunning color photographs, this book showcases the charm and history of boathouses found at private residences, rowing clubs, and educational institutions. It highlights the architectural significance of these structures, which flourished during the Gilded Age as symbols of leisure and craftsmanship. Many boathouses utilize local materials, reflecting regional styles. While some historic examples face decline, there is a resurgence in new constructions and restorations, particularly on school campuses. The foreword by architect Jeff Peterson adds professional insight into their design and cultural relevance.
