The Keokuk Young Women's Christian Association Building in Keokuk, Iowa, United States is a historic building that was built in 1913. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.[1] The building was home to the YWCA in Keokuk for nearly 50 years. The YMCA sat across the street until the building was demolished in 1975. The building served as a hub for social activities in the community.[2] It is representative of transitional architecture in the early 20th century. In 1976 the building was renovated for use as the courthouse for southern Lee County.[3] Those functions were transferred to the former United States Post Office and Courthouse in 1992.
