Inwood Hill Park Concrete Boathouse: the References refer to two "concrete boathouses" that Embury designed in Inwood Hill Park in 1940. This one would appear to be the larger one; today it is the Inwood Hill Park Urban Ecology Center. The smaller one seems to have vanished (or not been built in the first place). On the left; part of Embury's Henry Hudson Bridge.
