Thanks for posting this. It will be a great resource to have when guiding forumers around the city.

I would like to point out something about the map. Saint Anne's Hill is not represented. It is actually a part of "Historic Inner East". It is on the west side of this section of town. Left side on the map. I haven't studied the map in minute detail to see if other neighborhoods are left out as well. Overall it's a really good map.

St. Anne's Hill - A Historic Dayton Community -

I had to drop the link because it is an absolutely gorgeous neighborhood. Many times at the end of my bicycle "marathons" I take time to meander through it's side streets and admire the many well kept historic homes.

Here's a few more links on Saint Anne's Hill neighborhood history.

I used to research and post stuff on Dayton history and geography at the Urban Ohio website and at a blog, as sort of a hobby. Someone from St Annes Hill saw the Urban Ohio threads and invited me to give a presentation to their neighborhood group, which was a condensed version of these posts (which are as much maps and diagrams as pix, so only for hard core history buffs):

Saint Anne's Hill: Plats & Big Houses

Saint Anne's Hill: Changing East Fifth Street

Saint Anne's Hill: Corner Stores

And, just for grins, a similar post for the neighborhood directly east of Saint Anne's Hill: Newcom Plain

Finally, since we are in the area: East Dayton Industrial Belt, if you're interested in the old factories in the neighborhood, and for some social history from those factories: Class War at the Bicycle Works

You really have done a very thorough work on this area. I live just a few blocks away from Newcom Plain. (I'm near Xenia and Linden) Funny thing is I was not even aware of it's existence, much less it's history.

You have added a lot of depth and understanding to my appreciation of where I live. Thanks!

You're welcome.

I should say I dont think anyone calls that neighbohood Newcom Plain. I think that place name was a 19th century usage that was revived sometime in the recent past by a neighborhood group, who put up those signs (like the one at the top of the post). I don't even known if that neighborhood association is still active.

But it was a good concept or geographical framework to use when looking at the area east of St Annes Hill.

Yeah I know that area sort of, as I have an aquaintance who lives on Wellmier(sp?). I did some research on that Lorain building, where the laundromat is. That used to be a Kroger for years and years...until the late 1940s.

I used to be interested in Xenia Avenue and Twin Towers, might gin-up a post on that area one day. I have the pix and done the research, just need to pull it together.

I love that corner where the laundromat is. Reminds me a little of corners you see all over the place in Brooklyn/Queens. Had no idea a Kroger was ever there. Wellmeier Ave., and surrounding, is a really nice area. Some of the best 4 squares in the city, IMO.

If you do, I would love to read what you have. I understand that Xenia Ave. was once "the strip", so to speak, on the East End. (Of course now it's pretty shady. Although, Twin Towers residents have really put the pressure on the drug dealing and prostitutes, etc.) From what little I know, SR 35 changed everything once it divided up the neighborhoods over here.
