Chinese Young Men's Christian Association of Hong Kong (Chinese YMCA)

Established in 1901 when it was headed by Reverend Walter Southam of the American Association, the Chinese YMCA initially operated out of a rented residential flat on Des Voeux Road Central. The rapid growth in membership led to the construction in 1918 of new headquarters and facilities, the six-storey, red-brick Central Building, which then became the Bridges Street Centre when the headquarters was relocated to Kowloon in 1966.
