Central Park Lake and Boat House, 1914
A summer day in 1914. Two women stand on the edge of the lake in Central Park, arms akimbo, looking across at the boathouse. This edifice was designed by Calvert Vaux shortly after the completion of the park. It burned to the ground in1950 and was replaced by the current Loeb Boathouse.
