One of the most impressive looking structures on the lake had to be the Syracuse Yacht Club.
The wooden, three-story building and several related boathouses were built in 1898 on wooden piers in the southwest corner of the lake, near the State Fair Boulevard exit from westbound I-690.
The imposing sight became a prominent social center, serving lunches and dinners to a membership that grew to 2,000.
An early morning fire burned the yacht club down on May 10, 1917.  It wasn't rebuilt, probably because of the growing industrial waste nearby.
