Dayton Trip Yields Preservation Insights - Cont'd

The trip provided the opportunity for two days in Dayton, including a visit to the city's impressive Art Institute http://www.daytonartinstitute.org/, housed in a wonderful Classical Revival building across the river from downtown, a brief look at the city's famed Arcade,  a stroll down one of the city's rehabilitated neighborhoods on the near east side and walks throughout the downtown. Dayton has some wonderful early 20^th century terra cotta buildings plus some interesting late 19^th century residences that still survive downtown.  Howard Daniel's magnificent 1850 Greek Revival courthouse was closed during our visit. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montgomery_County_Historical_Society

A side trip to Kettering included a tour of their Early Modern city hall, an interesting landmark.
