Yale Boathouse: The Former Yale Boathouse was located on the harbor between I-95 and Forbes Avenue in the New Haven Annex area. The Boathouse was built in 1909 and was a large, brick structure with an irregular plan. The structure is 2 ½ stories tall with a steep, gable roof and rock-faced ashlar stone foundation and water table. The elaborate entrance made Gothic references through the use of a large, stylized pointed arch window, characteristic of cathedral transepts. The Boathouse, designed by Peabody and Stearns for Yale College, is listed in the Connecticut Register of Historic Places and is considered eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places.

IMPACTS: Construction of the new Pearl Harbor Memorial Bridge required the full taking of the Yale Boathouse property. ConnDOT has salvaged significant architectural elements from the building, to be delivered to the City of New Haven for adaptive use and/or public education purposes.

In recognition of the structure's historic significance, ConnDOT, along with the State Archeologist, has created a web-based electronic history of collegiate sculling, including aspects on the design and history of the Yale Boathouse. View the history of collegiate crew in Connecticut.
