Description: Bernard-Hoover Boathouse (1915) at James Madison Park in Madison, Wisconsin. This frame building is the third boathouse on the site. The site symbolizes the importance of pleasure boating in Madison in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The original boatyards and boathouse were operated by Charles Bernard in the 1850s. His son William built this structure, which was purchased by Harry Hoover in 1943. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1981.
