DescriptionView of a crew boat with rowers in the water, to the left of a two-story boat house. There are three ramps descending from openings in the side of the boat house. The bottom of the ramps appear to connect with a floating dock, which has several people standing on it. There are several smoke stacks rising from buildings built along the shoreline, to the left of the boathouse.
NotesAccording to cataloging worksheet in object file, the team depicted is either that of Horace Bushnell Cheney, Jr. (1899-1930) or Stephen Pierson Cheney (1903-1968). It is probably the St. Paul's School crew team.
