About the Y Building

This is the Y Building also known as the Old Chapel. It's called the Y Building because it housed campus chapters of the YMCA and YWCA.

Completed in 1853, it's the second oldest building at the university and originally served as a meeting hall and a chapel.

During the Civil War, Confederate soldiers were housed here.

Now it's home to the Croft Institute for International Studies.
