- By 1900, it had moved several times: to a second home in the Gray Building at Liberty & State; to the upper floor of J.C. Brown Hardware, 120 North Commercial; to the Hughes Building on the south side of State near High.
- On December 24, 1901, the Y was in a building it owned at Commercial and Chemeketa.
