The former boathouse, once an architecturally beautiful feature of Garfield Park, was in poor condition by the 1980s. The structures in the park had not only been sorely neglected, but vandalized as well. The description on the back of this photo sums up the building's main use by that time: "old boathouse-now the perfect place for beer parties." | Source: Cleveland Memory Project, Cleveland State University Library Special CollectionsDownload Original File
