Why it mattered
boathouse — Baltimore matters for the exact reasons given in its official assessment, rather than merely because it is an old structure. The source records: A picturesque small-scale building that although now used for storage, retains much of its form and fabric. The retention of features such as the brick window and door surrounds enhance its appearance, while the slipway is a striking feature which adds to its setting and context. The boat house and slipway are reminders of the maritime activities in the locality in the past. There was probably a connection between the boathouse, a now demolished coastguard which was located to the east and one or more of the formal terraces in the village. This explains what the place adds to local life, the street or the surviving built history.
