Boathouse Row Highlights: Must-See Features and Attractions
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
Boathouse Street is located on the east bank of the Schuylkill River. It consists of a row of 15 houseboats that house the social club, rowing club and rowing hull. Each houseboat has its own history. Houseboats 2 through 14 are part of an organization called the Schuylkill Navy, which owns several other houseboats along the river. Houseboat 1 is Lloyd's Hall, a public houseboat facility unique to this row. Houseboat 2 is home to the Sedgeley Club, which operates the Turtle Rock Lighthouse. The houseboats are all at least a century old, and some were built more than 150 years ago.

Hull Street is also a very unique place, this street is very wide, you can see a lot of interesting small things, this street is also a relatively wide place, you can feel a lot of projects.
During a commercial show in town, I went to Boat House Street once and ran for 5,000 meters. It is old but a nice place. In the morning (6:30), there are many other runners and walkers outside. It is a great trail for running and walking. Along a bustling road, but next to the river. You can see neatly rowed buildings and scenery, and there are many rowers on the water.
By the time we reached Boathouse Street, we had already walked nearly 10 kilometers to the sights of Central Philadelphia. But it was still a very pleasant walk along the river, along various universities and schools and fraternity buildings some of which could see they had passed their prime, and some looked like they were using perfect bricks, The carved wood was just built (all of which were built in the early 20th century), and the landscaping. It was very peaceful and breezy, and very relaxing after a busy day. Highly recommended as a soothing and peaceful walk.
Ten boat houses originally built along the banks of the Sgugier River replaced temporary water structures. After the 1970s, the Sgugier River changed from a natural tidal river to a long and narrow lake with water, and then the boat house residential areas, restaurants, and hotels built along the river rose here. Finally, in 1987, it was recommended to be selected in the United States National Register of Historic Places.
