Washington Park Boathouse

Built in 1903, the Washington Park Boat House is a significant structure from both an historical and architectural point of view. The restoration of this structure included a new roof, structural repair, new plaster and a complete overhaul of its electrical system. The project was completed by the end of 1987, thanks to generous foundation support and the efforts of the Denver Parks and Recreation Department and The Park People. The building is in constant use during the summer months, and during the winter its strings of light brighten the ice-covered lake.
