NEWS RELEASE:

Two properties recognized as endangered by Preservation Dayton

added now to Ohio's most endangered historic sites list for 2022

Traxler Mansion and the Santa Clara Business District selected

DAYTON, OHIO— Two of Dayton’s Most Endangered Properties listed by Preservation Dayton, Inc. (PDI) have been selected for the 2022 list of Preservation Ohio’s most endangered properties in Ohio. There are 13 properties on the statewide list.

The two properties are:

·       The Louis Traxler Mansion, a 1910-era 10,000-sq.-ft. French Chateauesque residence designed for a downtown Dayton dry goods merchant. It was built for Jewish Daytonians who were not welcome in traditional neighborhoods.

·       The Santa Clara Business District, which occupies two blocks of North Main Street, contains one- and two-story storefronts, some with apartments above and some attached to previously existing turn-of-the-century houses.

“We are grateful that two of the properties on PDI’s most endangered list have been selected for listing on Ohio’s Most Endangered sites and hope it will catch the attention of a preservation-minded purchaser with resources for the Traxler Mansion and a funding focus for the Santa Clara business district,” said Monica Snow, PDI president.
