Dayton's Arcade is just amazing.  Almost as amazing as this Wympee.  :laugh:

 

 

Thanks for the photos ink.

Good stuff!

 

Looks like that was a terrible fire that destroyed two good houses.

Lookin' good!  That skyline shot just never gets old...

Thanks for a fantastic set, Ink. I had to look again to make sure this was Dayton as many of these I'm seeing for the first time. I especially appreciate the Victorians, I didn't know Dayton had some many interesting examples.

Dayton does have some hidden treasures in her older hoods.  What a mind blowing housing stock!!!!

THanks!

any pictures of what lurks beneath the Price Shoe facade????

Just for an interesting note:

 

The house you posted that is burnt down is in my neighborhood. I remember the night it burnt to the ground, and you could smell the char in the air for a few days afterwards.

 

Speculation was that it was an Arson, as it had been abandoned for quite a long period of time.

 

There are a number of Arsons in that area of late, and on July 4th a similar event occured on 3rd St. near the Chase Bank, resulting in two houses going up in flames.

Great photos. Its a shame about those two homes! =-0(

I loved all the pictures!  I grew up in Dayton and went to Stivers, one of the pics.  What memories it brought back.  :-D

Great shots but would love to know the names and/or locations of some of these places. I know many of them but some I don't as in I don't know what neighborhood they are located in or what street they are on. Mostly the houses.

^The homes are almost all in Huffman, St. Anne's Hill, and Wright Dunbar. If you specifically reference pictures, I can specify.

Is the Arcade not shuttered? How'd you get those?

The Arcade is often open during the day while work is going on inside. I had lunch inside last week, actually.

Great thread!

I need to get over there. Haven't been inside the Arcade in decades. Almost 30 years ago, I wrote an article on Ohio's then-seven glass-roofed arcades (which, alas, was not published). Dayton's arcade rotunda is unique.
