With OCS going up, this buildings value just went way up, imo. I could see it getting a clean up and up-lighting in a couple years and just shining like a gem to all the new activity across the street.

Old Lawson YMCA- was basically an SRO for the latter half of the 20th Century. Now it's "Lawson House," sold in 2014 under the agreement that it would remain as affordable housing. The developer proposed a full rehab in 2017 to turn the SRO units into full apartments- Though this has yet to happen.
Also- on the National Register of Historic Places.
