Appraisal
One of a pair of structures of similar design and detailing. Gable-fronted form typical of boathouses, imposing façade enlivened by well executed quoins and copings. Regular façade articulated by window surrounds, which add artistic interest. Contributes to the architectural and naval heritage of island.
