Boathouse Row

About

Boathouse Row is row of fifteen boathouses on the east bank of the Schuylkill River in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, housing social and rowing clubs and their racing shells. A historic site just north of the Fairmount Water Works and the Philadelphia Museum of Art, each of the boathouses has its own history, and all have addresses on both Boathouse Row and Kelly Drive, named after Philadelphia oarsman John B. Kelly Jr.

Boathouses #2 through #14 are part of a group known as the Schuylkill Navy, which encompasses several other boathouses along the river. Boathouse #1 is Lloyd Hall and is the only public boathouse facility on the Row. Boathouse #15 houses the Sedgeley Club, which operates the Turtle Rock Lighthouse. The boathouses are all at least a century old, and some were built more than 150 years ago.
