Title: Wiley's Boathouse, 1897
Description: The original Wiley's Boathouse was located at the end of Spaulding Street in 1872, facing west in Hartshorne's cove. In 1887, Will Wiley built another boathouse at the end of Lake Avenue right on the shores of Lake Quannapowitt. This single-story boathouse was used by casual boating enthusiasts as well as members of the Quannapowitt Yacht Club who had their own pier at the Spaulding Street boathouse."; Image from the Wakefield Municipal Gas and Light Department annual calendar, 2013; Photo courtesy of JC Marketing Associates
