Centre City Building

The Centre City Building, located in downtown Dayton, Ohio, is a historic landmark that was completed in 1904 and was once the tallest building in the city. Originally serving as the headquarters for the Church of the United Brethren in Christ, it features a distinctive 21-story design, including a chapel added in 1924. This building is recognized as Dayton's first skyscraper and has undergone various ownership changes, including a recent purchase in 2017 with plans for a $46 million renovation to transform it into residential apartments, office spaces, and retail shops. The building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and has a rich history, having served multiple purposes over the years. Despite facing challenges such as vacancy and damage from storms, it remains a significant piece of Dayton's architectural heritage, attracting interest from both tourists and researchers alike.
