C. Beige Berryman, AICP Art Commission Director Art And JANUARY 27, 2021 TO RE C. Beige Berryman, AICP University of Pennsylvania Art Commission Director Boat House Renovations Art and Design Manager, Art Commission Review Request Philadelphia City Planning Commission EC# 20190550 [email protected] We are writing to request placement of the above referenced Project on the agenda for conceptual review and approval for the February 10th Art Commission Meeting. A submission package will be sent under a separate cover by February 3, 2021. The subject property, listed as OPA#885699400, 3301 West Girard Avenue, is owned by City of Philadelphia, Department of Public Property. An “Authorization to Apply for Zoning” letter from Department of Public Property is attached. The Project has been reviewed by Parks & Recreation. The Project received conceptual review and approval by the Philadelphia Historical Commission in November of 2020. A Zoning Permit application is to be submitted shortly, and a Building Permit application will be submitted in the Spring of 2021. BACKGROUND The University of Pennsylvania College Boat Club crew teams have been at the forefront of elite college rowing teams since first rowing under the UPenn banner in 1879. The College Boat Club is recognized for its historical significance at the local and national levels. The site is individually listed in the Philadelphia Historic Register. The College Boat Club as it stands today has a near-center stone gable (the original boathouse) with lower stucco additions to the east and west. The form and height of the additions allow the original building to predominate the composition on the north (Kelly Drive) and south (Schuylkill River) elevations. These relationships will be maintained in the new Project. PROPOSAL The proposed project will retain and restore the original stone boathouse and 1980-83 west addition, including preservation of existing original trim and reconstruction of the original windows and doors on both the north and south elevations, as well as the original south balcony and a reconstruction of the original north balcony facing Kelly Drive. The east additions are proposed to be demolished. The first story, built in 1920, will be reconstructed, including the stucco finish, wood trim, windows and doors, all character-defining features of this addition. A new second story will be built in the spirit of the existing c. 1930 addition, the principal changes being the addition of larger shed dormers on the south and north elevations, to accommodate new glazed doors onto new balconies. A steep-slope mansard roof, similar to the existing roof, will connect the two gables on the east elevation and mask roof-top HVAC equipment from view. The 1980-1983 west addition will be retained and restored. Aspects of the boathouse interior that are considered character-defining, and will also be preserved and restored, include the original “members room” on the second floor of the original boathouse, with its decorative exposed truss ceiling and bead-board walls. The character of the 1920 boat bay interior is also worthy of mention, with its exposed wood framing and sawtooth roof and skylights which will be recomposed and define the character of the new Erg Room on the second floor. The interior rehabilitation will also preserve and expose the original exterior stonework at the second floor of the east (side) wall. Second floor windows on this east wall will also be retained, and re-purposed as doorways between the original building and new east addition. Federal Reserve Bank Building, 100 North 6th Street, Philadelphia, PA 19106 TEL 215.923.2020 FAX 215.574.9163 ewingcole.com It is a primary objective of this project to provide space and program equity for the men and women crew programs. The original facility, despite multiple additions, has been unable to keep pace with the increased volume of members and program needs. The boathouse footprint is currently maximized relative to its neighbors’, Penn AC and Vesper, property lines; additional space is only available through the construction of a second-floor infill addition over the one-story boat bay as proposed. In addition to programmatic expansions and functional improvements, this project will also upgrade all building systems, including heating, cooling, security, and fire protection. Heavy use of the building, wear and tear, exposure to weather, further compounded by settlement of the building and aging infrastructure, inevitably lead to the need for repairs and restoration of parts of the boathouse.

The City of Philadelphia built the world’s largest dam at Fairmount to power its waterworks in 1822, forming a three-mile long slack water pond that was perfect for recreational boating. The river also froze in winter to create a generous skating rink. In 1844, the city of Philadelphia purchased Lemon Hill, a private estate just Keystone, Philadelphia Skating and Humane north of the waterworks, and in 1855 Society. Photo courtesy of E.

  • I ´Due´ John B. Kelly
    La leggenda dei Kelly di Claudio Loreto z John Brendan Kelly, il “muratore” Lo statunitense John Brendan Kelly è stato il primo canottiere a collezionare tre medaglie d’oro olimpiche. Più che a tale primato, tuttavia, la sua fama – che andò decisamente al di là dell’ambito sportivo – è legata al mito americano del “self-made man”, da egli pienamente incarnato. Ultimo di dieci figli di emigrati irlandesi, John (detto anche Jack) nacque a Filadelfia il 4 ottobre 1889.1 Muratore, sviluppò una grande passione per lo sport; dopo qualche esperienza nel rugby, nella pallacanestro e nella pallanuoto, approdò al canottaggio, nel quale presto si affermò - per i colori del Vesper Boat Club di Filadelfia 2 - come il miglior “sculler” 3 degli Stati Uniti. La I Guerra Mondiale lo obbligò a sospendere la voga, arruolandolo nelle fila dell’esercito come soldato semplice. Durante la ferma in Francia Kelly prese parte - nella categoria “pesi massimi” - al torneo militare americano di pugilato, conseguendo dodici vittorie consecutive prima di essere bloccato da un infortunio. Il torneo sarebbe infine stato vinto da Gene Tunney, futuro campione del mondo professionista; in seguito Kelly avrebbe canzonato Tunney: “Non fosti fortunato, allorchè mi si ruppe una caviglia?”. Congedato al termine del conflitto con il grado di tenente, Kelly avviò a Filadelfia un’impresa edile che lo avrebbe poi reso miliardario; contemporaneamente riprese in mano i remi, ripristinando negli U.S.A. il proprio predominio nella specialità dello “skiff” 4. Nel 1920 avanzò richiesta di partecipazione alla “Diamond Sculls”, la prestigiosissima gara dei singolisti in seno alla “Henley Royal Regatta” (all’epoca la più importante manifestazione remiera annuale del mondo).

Two separate but related events were the focus of their attention. The first of these two groups were intent upon competing in the Masters Eight event at the 2003 IRA Regatta in Camden, NJ; the second had as their goal maximizing their class’s participation in MIT’s 2003 Reunion Row a week later. I had rarely experienced anything quite like it, and I rather early on conceived the idea for two projects that will, I hope, become worthy keepsakes for all who participated in them, while at the same time benefit the Friends of MIT Crew, of which I am a Director.
