The Central YMCA marked its centennial in November 2015. The facility, which opened in 1915 at its present location on Champion Street, has been a fixture in downtown Youngstown since the late 19th century. This photo album captures the Central Y at various times during its 100 years. All images courtesy of the Central YMCA archive.
