Y M C A Eyes Randall Site For New Building
The Y M C A seeks an option on the Randall homestead at Berry and Lafayette and the adjacent Beach property, now owned by John N. Pfeiffer, to erect a new building after a May whirlwind campaign raised about 340000. The Randall option with Kilbourne and Perry remains active for 90 days, with Beach property also likely to be secured. The site’s central location near the business district makes it highly desirable, though no final decision has been made.
