The Young Men's Christian Association Central Building or Olympic Towers as the building is now known, is a historic YMCA building located at Buffalo in Erie County, New York. The tan-colored brick building with sandstone accents was designed by noted local architects Green & Wicks and constructed in 1901-1902. The building was home to the third oldest YMCA chapter in North America until converted to office use in the early 1980s.[2]

History

The building complex consists of an English-Flemish Revival style building with a 10-story tower, a 4-story glass and steel office structure which was added in 1986, and a 4-story connecting atrium.

In January 2012, the building was sold for US$2.5 million.[3]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.[1]
