The Young Men's Christian Association Central Building or Olympic Towers as the building is now known, is a historic YMCA building located at Buffalo in Erie County, New York. The tan-colored brick building with sandstone accents was designed by noted local architects Green & Wicks and constructed in 1901-1902. The building was home to the third oldest YMCA chapter in North America until converted to office use in the early 1980s.
