Summary
The McCook Y.M.C.A. served as a cultural center from the time it was built in 1925. Constructed at the height of a building boom, the Y.M.C.A. represents McCook's economic prosperity of the 1920s. Through the years it has brought together various constituents, including families, churches, schools, business leaders, and clubs in an atmosphere designed to enrich the community's physical and social well-being. In addition to its use as a Y.M.C.A., the building was also the home of McCook Junior College from 1926 to 1936.
