Young Men's Christian Association Building
Young Men's Christian Association Building, 1886 Romanesque Revival building in Albany, United States.
The Young Men's Christian Association Building features a flat-roofed round turret, steeply pitched roofs, dormer windows, and decorative stone carvings on its brownstone facade.
James Jermain donated 50,000 dollars toward the building construction, leading to matching fundraising efforts from the Albany community in the 1880s.
The building contained one of the first gymnasiums in upstate New York and an early indoor swimming pool, promoting physical education and community activities.
Located at 60-64 North Pearl Street in Albany, the building stands north of the Hudson River within a commercial neighborhood near Downtown Albany Historic District.
This building hosted the first basketball game played outside Springfield College, marking a significant moment in the expansion of this sport across America.
