TheLatham-Scott Boathouse is a historic building inCambridge,England. Since its construction in 1902, it has served as the boathouse forTrinity Hall Boat Club.[3][1]
The boathouse is in aMock Tudor style, with two gable ends, a red tiled roof, and three large chimney-stacks.[2] Each gable end displays a coat of arms, the left showing those of the college, and a carved wooden beam above the doorway reads: "Latham Boathouse Anno Domini 1905".[2] The building is named for bothHenry Latham, master ofTrinity Hall between 1888 and 1902, and for the alumnusWalter Grant Scott. Both men donated significant funds to the construction and the renovation of the boathouse respectively.[1]
Alongside storage racks for boats, the Latham-Scott Boathouse has a kitchen, changing rooms, both a weights and anergometer gym, and space for debriefing and relaxation.[3] Unusually for a Cambridge boathouse, it is only used by one college boat club.

The original architect was Montague Wheeler, another Trinity Hall alumnus who also designed the college's 1927 Gatehouse Building.[4] Although plans were first discussed as early as 1885, work only began in 1902.[1] More recent renovations in 2014 were designed by the Olympian Kate Hearle,[1] who matriculated at the college in 1977.[5]
The building now sits between theJesus College boathouse upstream, and theOld Combined Boathouse, ofGirton,Sidney Sussex,Corpus Christi andWolfson college boat clubs, downstream.
