Do you know an address or company name for that office building? I'll try a search in the meantime.

Absolutely - there are several really nice modernist homes on Honey Hill Road, and two nice apartment buildings just down the hill on Blair Place.

I have a fondness for the former Methodist offices at Riverview and Grafton, at the Monument Street bridge intersection. Very deft 60s modernist with nice massing and windows.

I'll add any buildings mentioned here to the nominations list. Save everyone a step!

Hi all, (First post! I'm Matt, an architect in Dayton, South Park resident and Dayton native.) The AIA Dayton chapter is organizing a year-long celebration of the architecture of the Dayton region. (By region, we mean the nine counties of Clark, Champaign, Darke, Greene, Logan, Miami, Montgomery, Preble, and Shelby.) It's being patterned - loosely - on the 2007 America's Favorite Architecture survey that AIA National undertook, which you can see here: www.favoritearchitecture.org. They started with around 250 nominations from AIA members and after polling random US households, came up with the top 150 buildings in the country. The results are occasionally surprising, and there seems to have been an attempt at some regional balance. We are now soliciting nominations from the public of their favorite Dayton-region buildings, and we'd love to get input from Urban Ohio members. Any building, structure, civil work, etc., is eligible as long as it's inside the nine counties I listed above. The nominations period ends April 1. Our web site is http://greatdaytonarchitecture.com, and you can follow us on twitter @greatdaytonarch or find us on Facebook. The web site has all the information on how to submit nominations (it's simple - e-mail as many building names and addresses, if known, to [email protected]). I'll also note, since there have been lots of great architectural photos posted to this forum, that we're announcing an architectural photography contest later today on the web site. All entrants will be exhibited at the May 13 Urban Nights celebration in downtown Dayton. There's a modest entry fee, and the same limitation that the photos be of buildings in our nine-county area. Thanks for reading!
