Boat house Row in Philadelphia at night is one of my favorite spots to visit in the summer. 
Founded in 1858, Schuylkill Navy Rowing is the oldest amateur athletic governing body in the United States and comprises the ten clubs of Boathouse Row.

None of the first generation of boathouses has survived. The City allowed the erection of the present boat houses beginning in 1860. They are privately owned and provide a well recognized recreational use of the river. The fifteen boathouses that now stand on the east bank of the Schuylkill River exhibit a wide variety of styles.

This is a view that can no longer be captured.  To help save money and preserve the look Peco Energy and the city of Philadelphia have replaced the original lighting with LED style lighting that remains white except for special occasions like the forth of July .

If you are interested in seeing what Boat House Row looked like at Night.  I have captured it in a classic view from the banks of the Schuylkill.  Boat House Row at night of the Past
