The Blue Triangle is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to the 3rd Ward area and raising awareness about water safety through our All Mothers Against Drowning or AMAD initiative. The Blue Triangle (formally the first branch of Houston's YWCA), was founded (1919) during World War I. This basis of this organization grew out of the pressing need for a central meeting place where women and girls of color could safely meet, learn and recreate. It opened at 806 Clay Ave. in the old Masonic Building, under the War Work Council, sponsored by the National YWCA. The Blue Triangle is a 2002 Texas Registered Historical Site. Tellepsen was selected as the construction partner for this complete renovation and historic restoration project. The Blue Triangle was recorded as a Texas Historic Landmark in 2002.
