Crawfordsville's Y.M.C.A Clean-Up Campaign

"The new Y.M.C.A. hall is a credit to the city and the pride of all who built the building through untiring energy of many earnest christian men and women, who were greatly assisted by Mr. W. H. Durham." (Argus News 4 December 1889)  At the end of 1913 it was decided the building would need work.  Thus, the Clean-Up Campaign would occur in January 1914 to raise the needed $20,000.

FYI: The Interurban Terminal Building/Y.M.C.A. was at the corner of Main Street and Washington Street. The first basketball game played in the State of Indiana occurred here.
