Sedgeley Club
Sitting at #15 Boathouse Row, along the banks of the Schuylkill River, is the Sedgeley Club. The club was originally formed in the 1880s as the Bicycle, Barge, and Canoe Club (purportedly the first such club in the U.S.), and it was headed by Margaret Longstreth Corlies. Corlies sought for her female crew of cyclers and boaters, a place of respite after their athletics.
