Built in 1884 by the Women's Christian Association (WCA), it was one Springfield's few surviving boarding house structures from the 19th century. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.[1] It was demolished to make way for the MGM Springfield casino.[2] Description and historyThe W C A Boarding House was located on the east side of Bliss Street, a right of way that formerly ran between Main Street and East Columbus Avenue, roughly dividing the area developed for the MGM casino. It was a three-story brick building, with a flat roof. It was stylistically a restrained version of Queen Anne architecture, with some patterned brickwork, and corbelled brick piers between the window bays. Windows were originally set in segmented-arch openings, and the building at one time sported a three-story Eastlake-style wooden porch.[4] The building was built in 1884 by the Women's Christian Association (WCA), a social welfare organization that was a predecessor to the Young Women's Christian Association. It was used by the WCA as a space for boarding respectable working class single women. With the construction of a new facility in 1910, the property was operated as a private boarding house. From 1962 the building housed the Springfield Rescue Mission, a social welfare agency.[3] It was demolished about 2012. See also
