From the 'Turnback Tuesday' archives: Yale Boathouse in Derby

 

DERBY -This week's "Turnback Tuesday" features an image of Yale's Robert Cooke Boathouse. It was located at 280 Roosevelt Drive, where the Yale Gilder Boathouse now resides. 

The Cooke Boathouse was designed by architect James Gamble Rogers and was dedicated in 1918. 

However, the boathouse was deemed too small to house the number of rowers that were using it, hence the need for its demolition and replacement by the Gilder Boathouse, opened in 2000. 

This image was taken from the Shelton side of the Housatonic River near Riverview Park.

Thanks goes to the Derby Public Library staff for sharing interesting local history each week.
