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. 000000394 533__ $$cYWCA Warren 000000394 540__ $$aCC BY 000000394 541__ $$fYWCA Warren 000000394 650__ $$aYWCA (Warren, Ohio) 000000394 651__ $$aWarren (Ohio) 000000394 655__ $$aPhotograph mounted to card 000000394 8564_ $$94335d925-2fcf-46fd-8fd2-81fd7bbe0963$$s4618009$$uhttps://trumbullmemory.org/record/394/files/001.jpg 000000394 910__ $$afuzzy date added 000000394 980__ $$aWarren YWCA Collection
