Jesus College Boathouse
Image: © N Chadwick Taken: 15 Mar 2014
Jesus College boathouse was designed by the architect Morley Horder, and was built in 1932 to replace the Victorian structure destroyed by fire in September of that year. It is a Building of Local Interest. The roof is hipped, with a central clock tower topped by a weathervane. The roof tiles are said to have come from old farm buildings owned by the College. The first floor has a central balcony with a timber balustrade displaying the College crest. Opening onto this are two windows and a single partially glazed timber door. The exterior of this floor of the building is covered by timber panelling. On either side of the balcony are 10x10 top hung casement windows. The brown brick ground floor has three upwards-opening doors and one timber door.
