For years the Boat House was falling down but the Lodge fire in 1976 distracted the board and crew away from this project. In 1977 part of the walls holding up the art shop were removed and cement posts added in to the hillside corners. In 1978 the crew had some helpers come in and they removed the old boathouse and formed 4 more cement pillars and added steel beams to hold up the art shop. The boathouse was now GONE but the project was always called saving the Boathouse. The new boathouse was not built until about 2014! Below is a day by day photo collection of the work in August 1978.
