Property Highlights

Prior investigations of the site indicated the presence of asbestos containing building materials (ACBM) and lead-based paint (LBP) within the building interior. A prior EPA brownfields grant funded abatement of ACBM, but did not address the LBP. The Site Remedial goal for the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum (NLBM) and the City is to efficiently remediate the Site to obtain a "No Further Action" Letter from the Missouri Department of Natural Resources (MDNR) regarding the LBP, indicating that the site is ready for any use without land use restrictions. This subgrant of funds through the BCRLF will provide funding for LBP cleanup. The John ?Buck? O?Neil Education and Research Center, named after a local legend and icon of the Negro Leagues, is part of an expansion of the Negro Leagues Museum to be built at the historic Paseo YMCA. The renovated Paseo YMCA will house more than 45,000 square feet of archives, educational areas, exhibits, conference facilities and administrative offices. In addition, the Center will be home to an innovative curriculum for students from around the country to use baseball to learn about math and science. The expected construction costs of $15 million will be raised by private donations, the "Thanks a Million Buck" campaign, and historic tax credits.

Former Use: The Paseo YMCA site consists of an approximate 33,000 square foot, four-story (plus basement) brick, seven-bay building constructed in 1914. A rear wing was added with a gymnasium, along with a concrete swimming pool in the basement. The Paseo YMCA Building is a culturally significant structure, being the primary social agency and center which served black citizens in the early 20th Century. In 1920, it would become the birthplace of the Negro Leagues. By 1941, the YMCA provided community service to 162 groups which annually held 3,650 meetings in the building with total attendance estimated over 76,000. The building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places within the 18th and Vine Jazz District, and is owned by the nearby Negro Leagues Baseball Museum.
