Work Begun on New Yale Boathouse

Work has been started on the new Yale boathouse at Gale's Ferry. The building, which will be 42 feet wide and 85 feet in length will be supported on piles. At one end a platform will be constructed with large aprons and a 60 foot float extending out over the water. The boatroom, which takes up most of the first floor, contains ample room for extra shells and oar racks. Dressing and shower rooms will be on the same floor. Servants will have separate quarters on the second floor. The exterior of the boathouse will be painted white and with its improved conveniences for men and boats will be greatly superior to the old boathouse which has stood for twenty-five years.
