The boosterish Secretary of the San Jose Chamber of Commerce, Joseph T. Brooks, wrote in an introductory essay, "A Review of San Jose and Santa Clara County," in the Polk-Husted Directory Company's San Jose City and Santa Clara County Directory 1911-1912: "Recently (June, 1911), the citizens, in ten days, raised a fund of $147,000 for a Young Men's Christian Association Building; the site has been selected and the property is in possession of the Association." (See Joseph T. Brooks, "A Review of San Jose and Santa Clara County," in the Polk-Husted Directory Company's San Jose City and Santa Clara County Directory 1911-1912, [Oakland, CA: Polk-Husted Directory Company, 1911], p. 8.)
