The Hope Building was one of the earliest works by the local architect George W. Spaulding. The Woonsocket branch of the YMCA, established April 12, 1902, was housed on the top floor. Facilities included reading and pool rooms, along with a gym and shower/bath. In
1911, the YMCA relocated to larger faculties in a newly constructed building on Federal Street which it still occupies.
