Boat house

  • David Traver Adolphus said:
    Aqueduct, surely
  • Amanda N. said:
    The boat house is just above the Francis Scott Key bridge in Georgetown. I think the main building you see is actually the Washington Canoe Club now, but it is very close to the Potomac Boat Club (now a private rowing facility).

Rescued from Aqueduct fire (LOC)

  • pennylrichardsca (now at ipernity) said:
    In August 1913, three men were killed and 62 others trapped in a tunnel in Harlem, part of the Catskill Aqueduct, when a fire started in a blacksmith's shop at the head of the shaft. It was especially dangerous because 900 pounds of dynamite were stored in the tunnel. There was no light, no fresh air, and a lot of smoke, but eventually the trapped men were rescued.

    Big NY Times article here with lots of detail: query.nytimes.com/mem/archive-free/pdf?_r=1&res=9E00E...

    In the bottom photo, on the right, you can see the tower of the Stanford White designed Madison Square Garden, built in 1890, demolished 1925. If you look closely, you can make out the nude statue of the goddess Diana, on the very top.

    This is the original heavier statue that was sent to Chicago's 1893 Columbian Exposition: digitalgallery.nypl.org/nypldigital/id?1691077
