From the 'Turnback Tuesday' archives: Bassett House, Derby YMCA

This week's "Turnback Tuesday" photo features the Derby YMCA once located on Elizabeth Street.

The green building on the left with the green shutters is the Derby YMCA.

It was located next to the Bassett House Hotel, which burned down in 1911, so that means the YMCA was also in Derby around that time. Interestingly, it was in this building - previously home to Dr. Ambrose Beardsley - that Beardsley suggested naming "Ansonia" after Anson Phelps.

Thanks goes to the Derby Public Library staff for sharing interesting local history each week.
