Grosvenor Rowing Club Boathouse (The East Boathouse)

The Grosvenor Rowing Club Boathouse, also known as the East Boathouse, was built in 1877 by T.M. Lockwood for the Grosvenor Rowing Club, likely funded by the first Duke of Westminster. This two-storey boathouse features a timber frame with brick nogging and plaster panels, topped with a brown tile roof.

The front includes a verandah supported by a vigorously moulded turned corner-post on the right, flanked by two slender cast-iron columns and a small timber-framed stairwell on the left. There are three sets of boarded doors, two of which have hit-and-miss timber vents leading into the boathouse. A balcony with four heavily-moulded turned posts and timber rails enhances the façade. The large jettied front gable is accentuated by a canted oriel window in the attic. The right end of the building is partly framed and partly constructed of brick, while the rear is entirely brick. The interior has not been inspected.
