Salem YMCA on January 27, 2007
The Salem YMCA was established in 1892. This YMCA building was dedicated on March 16, 1926. The building suffered a fire in 1962. By 1964, the ground floor windows and entries were rebuilt, and they have mostly stayed that way, with the exception of a vestibule added to the main entrance.

Colonial Building on January 27, 2007
The Colonial Building is not part of the Salem YMCA, but it is in the same block and is now completely surrounded by Salem YMCA buildings. The Colonial Building was built in 1951 by Donald Young & Robert DeArmond for their law firm, which went on to become the Sherman, Sherman Johnnie & Hoyt firm. It has since been the home of other law practices. At the time of the picture it was the home of the Ghioro Law Firm.
