Boathouses

Current boathouses at Baker Field on the Harlem River. The Class of 1929 Boathouse is at left, the Gould Boathouse at right.

The Columbia crew team's boathouses are located on the Harlem River, part of the Baker Field facility.

It actually consists of two boathouses: the old, no longer used Gould Boathouse, and the new, three bay Class of 1929 Boathouse. The two buildings sit side-by-side.

The original boathouses, however, were located on the Hudson, even as Columbia's 19th century Midtown campus was closer to the East River.
