Lake Geneva Yacht Club
| The Lake Geneva Yacht Club, originally a residence, sits on the shore of Geneva Lake. A description of the photograph written by Ernst Schmidt reads, "The picture was taken from the outer end of the pier, looking towards the shore. In those days there was just the main dock. The small pier to the west is still laying on the shore." On the right, tracks lead from the boat ramp onto shore; there is a row boat moored at the ramp. |
