The YWCA was an active organization up to a few years ago. Like a lot of Y's they consolidated with the WMCA.
The building is now empty, and up for lease or sale.
It has been in a slow steady decline for years.
It will either be torn down for an empty lot, or a parking lot. I really do not see it being revitalized in this economy.
The Building is located at :
1405 East Monroe Street
Springfield, IL 62703-1226.
Year of construction: 1912
