BONUS EPISODE: UW Must Preserve All Four Hangar Doors on Home of "Boys in the Boat"


Listen Later

On this BONUS EPISODE of CASCADE OF HISTORY, Feliks Banel's guest is Al Mackenzie, who shares an update on an important development in the University of Washington's effort to restore and renovate the old ASUW Shell House along the Montlake Cut in Seattle - aka the home of "The Boys in the Boat," the famous 1936 Olympic Gold Medal winners.
A contentious point in recent discussion about the project - the future of two of four large hangar doors that preservationists say define the look and character of the historic structure - has been settled by the National Park Service, according to an email sent by a UW official to the ASUW Shell House Advisory Committee on August 12, 2025.
Dr. Mackenzie shares the contents of the email and some other observations on the ASUW Shell House project, and tells of his long interest in rowing, rowing history, and the historic structure.
