Yahara Boat Club - Frank Lloyd Wright


Frank Lloyd Wright's Yahara Boat House, for the University of Wisconsin. Designed in 1905, ground for its construction was finally broken just this year, in September 2006!

The project has a website, and a twelve-minute video (try to ignore the ultra-cheesy soundtrack).

    As much as I am a fan of his work, this is not one of his better creations. It looks exactly like a public toilet, complete with "Mens" and "Ladies" on each side. Ugh.

    Blair,

    As a yachtie, might I point out that before you go out onto the water and after you come in you want to change between dry land gear.

    The Men's and Ladies' are changing rooms. Pretty hard to have a boating club without them. Or any sports club, for that matter.

    As a non-yachtie that sounds reasonable but does it still have to look like a public toilet?

We welcome thoughtful disagreement.
But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me.
PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
