Come hear the incredible history and restoration plans for the ASUW Shell House – the WWI Naval hangar on the UW campus – once home to seaplanes and aviators in training during the Great War, then the home of Washington Rowing, and the ‘Boys in the Boat’ and George Pocock’s workshop – and then for decades the beloved Canoe House for our campus community. Like the UW Club, it is on the National Register of Historic Places, and the fundraising to reactivate this forgotten treasure is underway! Join us for a night of history and inspiration! www.asuwshellhouse.uw.edu
