Steamboat Hotel Site
The historic brick masonry walls of the former
Steamboat Hotel will be exposed to view and preserved.
An engaging interpretive experience will be offered in an outdoor-museum setting
within the space created by the walls of the ruin. The masonry walls of the ruin
will be stabilized and conserved in an appropriate manner for their long-term preservation.
A walking surface of stabilized earth will be provided at the former basement
level of the building. Access from the ruins to the towpath along the Slip will be
provided. An earthen berm will be built adjacent to a section of the ruins and will
be planted with earthen grasses. This berm slopes up from the basement level to Lloyd
Street.
The ruins will be accessed by a stairway at the intercession of Lloyd andScott
Streets and a ramp from the intersection of Lloyd and Prime Streets. Interpretative
elements will be installed and will focus upon the themes Life on the Waterfront
and The Dynamic Canal District.
