| Originally
designed by Frank Lloyd Wright for the University of Wisconsin, the 4,800-square-foot
structure is among works the architect considered his most significant. The plans
that Wright developed for the construction of a rowing boathouse were never used.
Buffalo has the exclusive rights in perpetuity for the construction of this facility. Wright
included this boathouse boathouse design in the Wasmuth Portfolio at an international
exhibition of what he considered six of his greatest works. Once
fundraising for the project is completed, the facility will be built on the Black
Rock Channel near the West Side Rowing Club, America's largest rowing club. |
