YMCA

This is the original YMCA building in Columbus, Georgia. "The original marble YMCA building located at 118 E. 11th St. was dedicated on December 2-4, 1903. The construction was completed in 1907. According to Johnny Sharp, former YMCA Metropolitan Executive Director (1975), the building was modeled after the YMCA in London. 'Columbus on the Chattahoochee' (1951), Etta Blanchard wrote,'Georgia Foster Peabody gave to Columbus the only marble YMCA in America.'"http://www.columbusymca.com/cms-view-page.php?page=our-history.
