History
The Weld Boathouse, located on the Cambridge side of the Charles River, is home to the women’s rowing team at Harvard. Weld Boathouse was donated and built by George Walker Weld in 1906 for the purpose of encouraging “university-wide rowing”. As the home for not only the women’s team but also the recreational sculling and House intramural rowing program, Weld boathouse is a hub for the rowing community at Harvard.
