Queens' College Boathouse
Image: © N Chadwick Taken: 15 Mar 2014
The original boathouse of Magdalene and Queens’ Colleges was built in 1934 by Banhams commercial boatyard. The building was originally used by several Colleges, including Magdalene. Queens’ bought it from Banhams in the 1950s. The existing building was constructed in the late 1980s. Built of bricks with pink tones, it has three bays with three gable ends onto the river. The gable ends are each fully glazed, with tiled oversailing roofs. A full-length balcony runs across the three bays, with two flagpoles set at the centre bay. The two outside bays have College crests on the brick balcony. There is a metal spiral staircase from the ground to the central bay. There are five sets of double sliding doors, some with round windows.
