Young Men's Christian Association
Francis Frith 07/10/1822 - 25/02/1898
Summary
A view of the YMCA building on the corner of Mount Street and Peter Street, Manchester. The building is of light-coloured stone and of a simple neo-classical style. We see it looking towards its front right corner, allowing a view down Mount Street of the side of a taller warehouse building. At the far right of the image is a glimpse of the side of what seems to be a theatre, advertising a performance of The Silver King. There are multiple poster boards propped outside the YMCA also, advertising lectures and other passtimes.
