the original boathouse by calvin vaux in olmstead's prospect park was built in 1867, but was replaced in 1905 by this neo-classical, beaux-arts building by frank helmle and ulrich huberty.
in the '60's it was saved hours before demolition and since 1972 has been on the nat. register of historic places. in 2002, it was re-opened; completely restored.
the site also features many beautiful mature trees, including the famed "camperdown elm"
One of your best, Thomas!I love the whiteness of the villa against the greens as well as the details in the tree looming large in the forground...Very beautiful.Inspiring.
