The Paseo Y.M.C.A. was built by S. Patti Construction Co., opened in 1914. Within this location, eight independent black baseball team owners met in 1920 to form the Negro Leagues. The Paseo Y served the community from its opening in 1914 until it closed in the 1970s. In recent years, the building has been repurposed and renamed in honor of Buck O'Neil.
