The historic old downtown Columbus YMCA building, owned by First Presbyterian Church, is in the process of being sold to a local businessman, downtown resident and property owner.

Members of First Presbyterian Church voted Sunday to move forward with the proposed sale of the building, said Richard Y. “Bo” Bradley, a church member who is representing the church’s legal interest in the transaction.


Jason Gamache, who owns PTAP, an automobile accessory and repair business, has been acquiring property downtown and in the Historic District for about seven years. He entered into a contract with the church this week to purchase the 1903 building.

Neither party would disclose the terms of the sale, but said they were working to set a closing date. The marble-facade building, which has been in poor condition for decades, is being sold as-is, real estate broker Ed Adams said. Gamache is also acquiring a small surface parking lot behind the building.

“The first thing that I want to do is get the building where we don’t have leaks or damage to the historical value,” Gamache said Wednesday morning. “... This was one of the pieces of property that I rode by almost every day and I felt like it needed to be saved. And I am sure at some point somebody else has come in and did the same thing, but I am looking for opportunities to make my backyard a better place.”

No way. I would rather see that building converted into loft apartments.

No way, he'll be renovating and probably some apartments.
