FINAL Phase IB Underwater Archaeological Resources Report for Onondaga Lake Superfund Site Significance Evaluation National Register Evaluation Integrity of: Location A51 remains at its original location, thus LCMM recommends that it retains integrity of location. Design The Solvay Process Company’s intake is intact retaining a combination of elements that demonstrate the site’s form, plan, structure and style. LCMM recommends that A51 retains integrity of design. Setting The underwater setting of A51 has changed little since its installation. LCMM recommends that A51 retains integrity of setting. Materials The materials comprising the intake appear complete, thus LCMM recommends that A51 retains integrity of materials. Workmanship Evidence of workmanship was not apparent on the intake structure due its heavy layer of corrosion, however (based on the plans), that workmanship is presumed to still exist. LCMM recommends that A51 retains integrity of workmanship. Feeling The historic sense of the property is conveyed by the extant industrial, sheet iron nature of the intake. LCMM recommends that A51 retains integrity of feeling. Association A51 remains in the place where it was originally installed, and an underwater inspection of the site indicates that the intake structure has the ability to convey is historic use and association with the industrial past. LCMM recommends that A51 retains integrity of association Criterion: A: Event A51 has an association with the industrial era on Onondaga Lake, however, it lacks any specific association with an important event. LCMM recommends that A51 is not eligible under criterion A. B: Person No important persons are known to be associated with A51. LCMM C: Design/ Construction D: Information Potential recommends that A51 is not eligible under criterion B. A51, for which engineering plans exist, does not have characteristics that are sufficiently distinctive to render it eligible under Criterion C. LCMM recommends that A51 is not eligible under criterion C. With the existence of the construction plans for the structure, it is unlikely that documentation of the structural remains will yield information that is important to history. LCMM recommends that A51 is not eligible under criterion D. Statement of Significance LCMM’s analysis suggests that A51 retains integrity, but fails to meet any of the four criteria considerations for listing on the NRHP. Recommendations LCMM recommends no further work for A51. 123

The yacht club consisted of a large clubhouse and several boat houses; all were built on wooden piers driven into the lake bottom. At a cost of $30,000, the clubhouse was a massive wooden structure (more than two stories in height), which became one of the area’s leading social centers. Luncheons and dinners were served daily to a membership that reached 2,000 at one time. By the 1910s, the yacht club also served as a boarding house. On May 10, 1917, a fire destroyed the clubhouse, reducing the large structure to ashes on top of the wooden piers. Nothing was salvageable within the clubhouse. At that time, there were up to 25 boarders. The boathouses, which did not burn during the fire, were used for several more years by owners who joined the Onondaga Yacht Club. 144 Although it is not known how long these boathouses were used and what became of them, it is likely that they fell into disrepair and could have collapsed into the lake.
