Emmanuel College boathouse was built c.1895. There are two chimneystacks at either end of the ridge of the original building. The roof is red clay tiles. There have been two two-storey side extensions. The first floor has a central protruding bay, gable end onto the river. There are decorative barge-boards on the gable, and a central timber finial. The first floor is characterised by the use of decorative timber painted white. There are five small-paned casement windows leading onto a balcony with decorative timber balustrade. There is a timber stairway leading from the ground to the first floor. The ground floor is red brick with four sets of double doors, two sliding, two side hung. There are three fixed windows by the middle sets of doors with white timber boarding below each of the windows.
