Architectural plans by Joseph & Joseph architects. These drawings detail Jewish Louisville architects Joseph & Joseph’s plan for all floors of their new
Young Men's Hebrew Association (YMHA) building at the corner of Second and Jacob streets. The new building plans reflected the YMHA's expanded efforts to provide educational and cultural programs to Louisville's Jewish community in addition to recreational amenities. The plans show the new building's facilities, including a library, classrooms, billiard room, and a two-story gymnasium with an elevated track. The drawings also indicate materials used, such as marble for the shower stalls in the basement.
