1915 Detroit Boat Club, Belle Isle, Michigan

Card #1308 from "The Valentine-Souvenir Co." and Superior Quality. Messaged and mailed to Mr. & Mrs. Scott Waterson in Piqua, Ohio, this image has no creases or tears, but does show some light soiling and corner wear around the sharp edges. The back gives a lengthly history, reading:

"The Detroit Boat Club is one of the most exclusive social and athletic organizations 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."
