It was originally located in the Dana's Musical Institute's Junius Cottage (1916-1919) before finding its next home in Dana's Martha Potter Hall (1919-1929). In 1926 a capital campaign began in earnest for the construction a building to house the Y. Under the direction of Building Campaign Chair B.W. Edwards, local businesses were solicited for $1000.00 each to purchase the property then occupied by the Harrington family's abandoned home on North Park Avenue. In addition, board members, staff and supporters canvased Warren neighborhoods requesting smaller donations. Construction of the YWCA began in 1928 and was completed in 1929. 000000367 533__ $$cYWCA Warren 000000367 541__ $$fYWCA Warren 000000367 650__ $$aMartha Potter Hall was the home of the YWCA from 1918-1929 000000367 651__ $$aWarren (Ohio) 000000367 655__ $$aPhotograph 000000367 8564_ $$977117c72-6abf-446d-aece-7939afddf25b$$s6501149$$uhttps://trumbullmemory.org/record/367/files/001.jpg 000000367 980__ $$aWarren YWCA Collection
