The old YMCA, right before it was torn down.  The current Y, at 4th and Cook has been open for 47 years.

  4. It’s a shame that so much space that could be used for something is just gone… and such a beautiful building too!

  6. I remember swimming in the Y pool. Loud echo from all of the yelling & splashing. Then I seem to remember a room upstairs that was decorated like a ship or boat with round windows like portholes and other nautical stuff. Anyone else remember that?

  8. I also remember swimming in the YMCA pool. During my era there we were required to swim nude. I never understood why and wondered if that was a nation-wide YJCA requirement.
