Construction of the building to house the Young Men's Christian Association of Sumter began on this site in March, 1911. Mr. E.D. Sompayrac, architect, and Mr. Frank Carr, contractor, would design and construct the massive brick structure. The landmark facility opened in March of 1912 under the guidance of many civic-minded leaders including Dr. S.H. Edmunds, who served as president of the board of directors for twenty-five years.
