The following is an article from NEXTPittsburgh on February 20, 2020:
A major Hill District landmark, the Centre Avenue YMCA, is about to embark upon a new chapter in its storied history, with a $7 million renovation that will result in 74 units of affordable housing.
“The building has been a staple of African-American culture in the Hill District since the early 20th century,” says Diamonte Walker, deputy director of the Urban Redevelopment Authority of Pittsburgh (URA). “The reason why it’s important is that it was one of the first YMCAs in the country to allow African-Americans to take up residence.”
