Martin Boathouse
MaristLand
The William Martin boathouse almost completed in 1963. The bulwork in the lower part of the photo was placed on
land of the city of Poughkeepsie to aid the Cornell and California boathouses, but the Martin boathouse was fronted
with huge bolders set by Brother Nilus Donnelly.

the Leo Dormitory. The California and Cornell boathouses were used by the high schools, and Dutton Lumber began
shrinking its supply of aging lumber.


The Martin boathouse celebrates its 50th birthday in 2012.
