The YWCA Boston building is a historic building located at 140 Clarendon Street in the Back Bay neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts. The thirteen-story brick-faced steel-frame building was designed by George F. Shepard and Frederic Stearns, and built in 1929.[2] Once housing an indoor swimming pool and recreation facilities for the YWCA Boston, the building is now operated by Clarendon Residences LLC. It provides affordable and market-rate housing, the boutique Hotel 140, facilities for the Lyric Stage of Boston and Snowden International High School, and corporate offices for several small and mid-sized for-profit and not-for-profit tenants.

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.[1]
