Title

YMCA Reception Room, circa 1900; Mahaska County; Oskaloosa; Iowa

Description

The Young Men's Christian Association has played a pivotal role in the history of Mahaska County. Located in Oskaloosa, this YMCA has served as a place for growth spiritually and athletically for over a hundred years. This photograph was taken of the YMCA around the year 1900. Focusing on the way in which others were welcomed and greeted during the day in public institutions, this reception hall would have looked familiar throughout many other YMCA's during the time period, having a very inviting atmosphere with its comfortable chairs and seating arrangement as well.
