  The Griswold Memorial Young Women's Christian Association, today known as the YWCA Center for Women, is a historic YWCA building in Downtown Columbus, Ohio. It was built in 1929 and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993. Renovations took place in 1963-64 and 1984. The building was named for Charles C. Griswold, and was a gift of his wife Mary, who donated about $400,000 to the YMCA's building fund.
  
  The eight-story tower is built in the Second Italian Renaissance Revival style. It has a brick foundation, two stories of rusticated limestone, and an upper six stories of brick. There are five belt courses wrapping around the building.
