EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph depicts the Naval Y.M.C.A. in Norfolk, Virginia, between 1910 and 1920. The image, created by an unknown photographer, showcases the grandeur of the building that once provided accommodations and services for young sailors during their time off from naval duties. The Y.M.C.A. building, with its imposing architecture, stands proudly on a corner, exuding a sense of community and belonging. The building's design, reminiscent of the classical revival style popular during that era, boasts tall columns, a grand entrance, and large windows that allow ample natural light to filter in. The photograph captures the essence of the bustling waterfront town of Norfolk, with its marine activity and vibrant street life. Sailors in uniforms can be seen milling about on the sidewalk, engaged in conversation, while others are seen loading supplies onto ships docked in the harbor. The Naval Y.M.C.A. played a crucial role in the lives of sailors during this time, providing them with a place to rest, socialize, and access educational and recreational opportunities. The organization's mission was to help these young men maintain their physical, mental, and spiritual well-being while they served their country. This photograph is a testament to the rich history of the Naval Y.M.C.A. in Norfolk and the important role it played in the lives of sailors during a time of naval warfare and expansion. The image, captured on a dry plate negative glass 8 x 10 in, is a valuable addition to any collection of historical photographs of American life during the early 20th century.
