  • Control and Competition: the Architecture of Boathouse Row
    Control and Competition: The Architecture of Boathouse Row WENTY-FIRST-CENTURY PHILADELPHIANS know Boathouse Row as the idiosyncratic collection of boathouses that dot the shoreline Tof the Schuylkill River (fig. 1). But the unique architectural character and definition of the row is no accident of history; rather, it is the result of one of the earliest attempts to exert municipal control over private structures, initiated in response to a confluence of cultural and his- toric trends sweeping through Philadelphia and parts of America in the late nineteenth century. This paper investigates how the architecture of Boathouse Row developed in three distinct phases: first, under city ordi- nances influenced by prominent individuals who oversaw the founding and growth of Fairmount Park; then, as an aesthetic competition developed between the boat clubs within the constraints determined by the city; and finally as municipal control over the design of the boathouses declined as the Fairmount Park Commission shifted its attention elsewhere and as prominent architects took the stage and a rise of architectural eclecticism led to a profusion of new styles. The boathouses are located in Fairmount Park, founded in 1855. Though the city had acquired the land in 1844, it did not begin to exert municipal control over the site with its first ordinances until 1860. With the establishment of the Fairmount Park Commission in 1867, figures such as Frederic Graff Jr., chief engineer of the Fairmount Waterworks, and Hermann Schwarzmann, a park engineer and later designer of the This paper began as an independent study project during my masters program in art history at Williams College.

NITZSCHE June, 1920 .CU571778 *^ JUL 24 1920 \^ .c PREFACE. This little guide book to Philadelphia was prepared by the editor at the request of the Convention Committee of the Rotary Club. It is not an exhaustive treatise on Philadelphia, but is intended simply as a brief guide for visitors. To make a guide book of a city attractive reading is almost impossible, and to know what to include in a book of limited size is difficult. No two visitors have exactly the same tastes or interests. It is also difficult to classify properly the various points of interest; but it is believed that the classifications herein employed will be found as convenient as any. If some attractions have been given more or less space than they merit, or if anything has been omitted, the editor begs his readers to be indulgent. The real object of this preface is to create an opportunity to thank those who assisted the editor in gathering and com- piling this material. Among them he desires to acknowledge especially the courtesy and assistance of Geo. W. Janvier; the International Printing Co.; Jessie W. Clifton; Charles Fair- child; Elmer Schlichter; Frank H. Taylor; Wm. Rau, for many of the photographs herein reproduced; Jessie C.

  • Boathouse Row: Waves of Change in the Birthplace of American Rowing
    Excerpt • Temple University Press ERNESTINE BAYER Women and Their Fight for the Right to Row Before Ernestine Bayer got it into her head that she had a perfect right to row; before she arm- twisted her competitive- rower husband in the 1930s to find a way to get on the river; before she and other strong- willed Phila- delphia women passed the baton, one to the next, in a decades- long campaign to upend the no- women- here culture of Boat house Row and American rowing; before all of that, a few— very few— women rowed for sport, and when they did, they were mostly regarded as spectacles. 3 In 1870, Lottie McAlice and Maggie Lew, two Pittsburgh 16- year- olds, raced each other for 1 ⁄8 miles on the Mononga- hela River in what was touted as the “first female regatta.” An estimated 8,000 to 12,000 onlookers crowded the shores to watch the oddity, including press from Chicago, Cincinnati, and New York. McAlice, the victor in just under 18 minutes 10 seconds, won a prize of a gold watch. On New York City’s East River that same year, five teenage girls wearing dresses competed in a three- mile race in heavy 17- foot workboats as spectators lined the banks “for a considerable distance,” with the water “fairly covered” with plea sure boats, barges, and steamships. Excerpt • Temple University Press “Ladies Boat” II Another sketch recorded in the Button’s social logbook shows a T- shirted Bachelors’ rower ferrying his elegantly dressed date. It is titled “Sans souci,” or “No worries.” Logbook, the Button, May 1884.
