McKinley Family YMCA

The McKinley Family YMCA has been located at 500 W. Church Street in Champaign for more than 70 years. According to the News-Gazette, it was originally built around the turn of the 20th century and was known as the Phillippe mansion, then was acquired in 1937 by a group that formed the McKinley Family YMCA. Over the years, the building was expanded to include two indoor pools, men's and women's fitness centers, and a gymnasium, among other facilities. The McKinley Family YMCA derived its name from Senator William B. McKinley, who made a bequest to start a YMCA in Champaign-Urbana.
