(KAIR)--The City of Atchison sees another local property placed upon the National Register of Historic Places.
The latest addition to the registry is the Atchison YMCA, located at 325 Commercial Street.
According to a letter addressed to Atchison Assistant City Manager Justin Pregont, the structure earned the distinction April 13.
The letter, sent by the Kansas Historical Society, explains that the National Register is the country's official list of historically significant properties.
Listing of the YMCA "provides recognition of its historical importance and assures that the significance of the property will be considred in federal planning."
According to nomination documentation, the period of significance for the property is 1913 to 1969.
Opening in 1913, the YMCA “remained a strong presence in the community throughout its history.”
The original structure was closed in 2017, replaced by an expanded version nearby, known as the Atchison YMCA/Cray Community Center.
