DescriptionView of the Cheney boathouse sitting amidst trees on the edge of Marlboro Pond (Lake Terramuggus). Both doors of the boathouse sit wide open and a ramp leads down into the water. The inside of the boathouse is mostly empty, but there is a broom leaning against the right wall. At the foot of the ramp a canoe floats amidst some reeds. There are two women sitting in the canoe. The one on the left reaches down into the water with her right hand.
