Welcome to Week 7 of Mystery Mondays. The answer to Week Six’s Mystery Photo is: The Ludlow Building on 136 South Ludlow Street in Downtown Dayton. I took this photo on March 27, 2015.
Congratulations to our winner Curt Dalton! Rapid Fired Pizza certificates are coming your way!
The Ludlow Building, built in 1916, was designed by the Pretzinger & Musselman architectural firm for Adam Schantz, Jr., who used his father’s estate to redevelop Ludlow Street into an important commercial thoroughfare. This building has distinct facades (one in brick with terra-cotta & metal trim and two in glazed terra-cotta veneer) designed to make one building look like three different buildings. The Terra-Cotta Historic District where the Ludlow Building sits, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places (added on May 31, 1984).
This building was formerly occupied by Reynolds & Reynolds as part of it’s downtown campus before relocating it’s headquarters to Kettering’s Miami Valley Research Park in 1999. The current occupants are Premier Health Partners and Dayton Public Schools.
