Description and History of Site:-
Appraisal (2014):

While modest in scale and appearance, this red brick building has important historical associations with nearby St Mary of Eton and the social history of the university and Eton College missions working in the poor East End of London. It is gabled to its river frontage with rendered quoins and Crittal windows. It closes views east along Wallis Road. The Eton Mission Rowing Club was established here in 1885 by old Etonians. The present boathouse replaced an early structure built on the Hackney Marsh side of the waterway and its opening is commemorated with a plaque.
