Description: The Brittingham Boathouse (1910) on N. Shore Drive in Madison, Wisconsin, was designed by Ferry & Clas and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. The construction of this public boathouse represents the spirit of municipal improvement that infused Madison at the turn of the century. The parkland and its model facilities were created through the generosity of lumberman Thomas E. Brittingham and the hard work of a private group, the Madison Park and Pleasure Drive Association headed by John M. Olin. George B. Ferry and Alfred C. Clas were distinguished Milwaukee architects known in Madison for their design of the State Historical Society building.
