Y.M.C.A. Building26 Chelsea Street Everett, Mass.
Year Built: 1888This building was built in 1888. According to the Massachusetts Historical Commission, this building has been altered beyond recognition.
In its original form, the building was a massive two-story frame structure with a high hipped roof broken by gables. From the southeast corner, rose a square tower capped by a bell-cast dome. Similar domes crowned turrets on the main roof and rear section. The building had a wide variety of window configurations.
This is likely the design of John Spofford.
