Property Features
"This four and one-half story building towers over the north end of the district. Designed by Chicago architects Charles H. Walcott, this stone ashlar Tudor Revival style building has a square plan. At the southwest corner is a "tower" decorated with battlements. Entrances to the building are highlighted by projecting pavilions with stone Tudor arches. New additions have been made to the east side of the building. The YMCA was built in 1930, through a contribution of $400,000 from Charles W. Nash, which the city more than matched through donations. The facility was opened on November 15, 1930, and still serves the Kenosha community today, offering recreational facilities for all ages."
