The side with the new stone, or at least it appears that way, looks good. The other sides look strange with the thin windows.

they are doing a great job on Central side. That park lot side, yuck.
Re: OFFICIAL - New Downtown YMCA (former Lyric Theater)
Agree. That setback between the new addition and original facade on the south east side is pretty bad. Still think this was such a strange and unfortunate decision (building the new DT YMCA behind/within the Lyric), but hoping it brings a lot of life to that stretch once open.they are doing a great job on Central side. That park lot side, yuck.

Nice catch. I didn't know that name was still under there. They did a good job matching the exterior stone.

Those new windows don't look right.
Re: OFFICIAL - New Downtown YMCA (former Lyric Theater)
The windows on the 2nd floor between the columns are better. The old ones had a solid panel in the transom.

The new windows match what the building was originally built with.
Re: OFFICIAL - New Downtown YMCA (former Lyric Theater)
I miss the old place. I had symphony season tickets here for years. Gradually moving up to better seats after one blue haired old lady after another dropped her diamonds, until at last I achieved front row center balcony. There are no comparable seats at Helzberg, the balcony starts much further back.

I think the white mullions/muntins look terrible. But the glass looks good!

^The mystery wall could be for a parking lot or for an outdoor tennis court area.
