Summary
[edit]DescriptionFontana Boathouse, Rotary Row, Front Park, Buffalo, NY - 52563141934.jpg |
English: Built in 2007, this Prairie-style building was originally designed by Frank Lloyd Wright as a boathouse for Cudworth Beye and the University of Wisconsin-Madison’s rowing crew team in 1905. The building was not constructed when it was originally designed due to funding shortfalls, though it marked a departure from the more intricate and ornate Prairie-style buildings that Wright was designing at the time, and featured a far simpler, more abstract design with clean lines, a sleek low-slope roof and a lot of symmetry on the exterior. In 2007, the unbuilt boathouse was built by the West Side Rowing Club in Buffalo, New York, with the design being faithfully built under the direction of architect and former Wright apprentice Tony Puttnam.
The building features a stucco-clad exterior, sleek low-slope roof, two rooftop terraces on either side of the second floor that runs longways through the middle of the building, wooden doors and windows, cantilevered canopies over the entrances, punctured by two flagpoles on each side that flank the central bays of each entrance facade, and small square punched window openings below the terraces, with some changes from the original design, due to modern building codes, include glass guardrails at the terraces to bring them up to the minimum height required by current codes, a more robust structural design based on contemporary engineering principles, and modernized building systems and interior spaces that meet current codes. The building serves as the home of the West Side Rowing Club, and is also rented out for special events and open for public tours. The building is one of several unbuilt or lost Frank Lloyd Wright designs that have been constructed in Buffalo in the 21st Century, including the Blue Sky Mausoleum at Forest Lawn Cemetery, the Tydol Filling Station at the Pierce-Arrow Museum, and the restored Darwin D. Martin House Complex. |
