Facts and practical information

Cascadilla School Boathouse is a historic boathouse located in Stewart Park, in Ithaca in Tompkins County, New York. The boathouse lies on the south end of Cayuga Lake. It was built in 1894–1896 in the Shingle style. It was built by the Cascadilla School as a structure to store boats. Crew rowing was extremely popular in the late 1800s, with the first FISA’s annual international event taking place in 1893. The boathouse has been in continuous use since then, for rowing storage, training, lessons and meetings of the Cascadilla Boat Club. ()
