Notes
  • Significance: Designed for the black community by a black architect, W. Sidney Pittman, the costly and well-equipped YMCA became a vital community center. Organizations such as the NAACP, Negro Medical Aid Society, and the Federation of Civic Associations used its meeting rooms, while its heated swimming pool was used by several churches for baptism, in addition to temporal pleasure by others. The Y's original fifty-four sleeping rooms provided comfortable accommodations for many including Howard University students.
