To sort by year built, or by neighborhood, street, or type, just click the column headers to sort. You can also use the search box to narrow to any keyword (ex. vacant, theater, school, etc).
Building names link to our article with history on that structure (if we’ve published one; sign up for our newsletter for updates!)
I also chronicle the history of many of these buildings in my book Lost Dayton, Ohio.

Note: Year built is determined by a combination of factors, including existing research sources and county real estate information. Real estate records are not always reliable and there are several default dates used when the build year is unknown, so some judgment is exercised in order to filter out inaccurate information.
Building names are usually given as the historical name, if one is known, sometimes with a current tenant in parentheses. If no historical name or tenant is known for a vacant building, then the address may be given. Future research on these buildings will provide more consistent naming patterns.
