Detroit Boat Club, Belle Isle, Detroit, Mich.
Reverse reads: The Detroit Boat Club is one of the most
exclusive social and athletic organization in Detroit. Its handsome home
on Belle Isle near the bridge was erected in 1902 to replace one destroyed by
fire. The building is one of the finest of its kind in the world.
Its members enjoy unusual facilities for their favorite sport of rowing, which
they combine with sailing and canoeing. Their balls feature the summer in
Detroit society. In front of the bridge entrance to the club is one of the
finest flower beds on the island.
