1908: The Iguanas That Escaped From the Bronx Zoo » Boathouse

Bronx Zoo boathouse

In the early 1900s, the foundations of the old Lydig mills were still visible near the Bronx Park Boat House, pictured here in 1914. The Boat house was very popular during the summer season and thousands of park visitors used the rowboats that are kept here. Today this is the site of Jungle World at the Bronx Zoo.
