Cascadilla School Boathouse is a historic boathouse located in Stewart Park, in Ithaca in Tompkins County, New York. The boathouse lies on the south end of Cayuga Lake. It was built in 1894–1896 in the Shingle style. It was built by the Cascadilla School as a structure to store boats. Crew rowing was extremely popular in the late 1800s, with the first FISA’s annual international event taking place in 1893. The boathouse has been in continuous use since then, for rowing storage, training, lessons and meetings of the Cascadilla Boat Club. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.The Cascadilla Boat Club currently leases from the city of Ithaca the first floor of this historic structure for $46.17 per year in perpetuity. Continuing to use the boathouse for its original purpose, CBC runs a competitive Scholastic Rowing Program as well as Youth and Adult Learn to Row classes from April through October. Cascadilla Boat Club is a not-for-profit organization, founded in 1977, with the mission of making the sport of rowing available to the entire Ithaca area community.
