Have been fortunate to have in my possession some wonderful books with pictures of the story of our city. One was published by Dayton Daily News and was called, For the love of Dayton-Life in the Miami Valley 1796-1996.The others are from the Bicentennial Bookshelf, Dayton an Intimate History by Charlotte Conover, Lands Between the Miamis by Virginia and Bruce Ronald, and Sports in Dayton by Ritter Collette.If possible check to see if these books are in the library and make them a must read. You can't help not to have a tremendous pride for Dayton as you learn of their beginnings, their accomplishments, their struggles and over all what made her great. You can go off and live anywhere in the country but once a Daytonian always one.

I have a book for which my grandfather wrote the text- Craig Macintosh's Dayton Sketchbook. It was first published in 1977, and updated in 1985, but I think it's been out of print for quite awhile now. I have a couple of copies of it. It is literally a sketchbook (no photographs) of many of the historic buildings in Dayton, from the early 19th century up through it's date of publication. The text has a lot of interesting background/backstory-type information regarding the history of the city at particular points in time, and also the architecture and the materials used.
Even though many of those old buildings are now relics of the past, quite a few of them are still around.

Dayton was so wonderful in the 50s to mid-60s.My Mom,on Friday (payday) would walk we three boye downtown from Burns Ave.to either the Virginia Cafeteria,or ,the Hollywood Grill on East 4th St.Walk,mind you.Those were definitely pedestrian times.How I miss them.And,somewhat more recently,the Carillon Cafeteria.Quel dommage!
