Old YMCA

The old YMCA was on West Chestnut Street in Washington, Pa., in the area now occupied by Millcraft Center. This photo was taken about 1924 or 1925. The date on the building at right – Sam Green's Block – is 1922, and the movie at the Court Theatre starred May McAvoy, a silent screen star whose career peaked about that time. The old Y was demolished about 50 years later.
