A fire in 1908 destroyed the original building, and the structure was rebuilt that same year.
The Edgewood Yacht Club building also houses the Ted Turner Sailing Pavilion, which is home to Brown University's Sailing Team.[8] The Pavilion is named after CNN's founder, Ted Turner, an avid sailor, America's Cup defender in 1977 and a Brown Alumnus.[6]
