The History of the Dayton Arcade
The Arcade is a historical, architecturally elegant complex located in the heart of downtown Dayton, Ohio’s central business district. Built between 1902 and 1904, it consists of five interconnecting buildings topped by a glass-domed rotunda, 70 feet high and 90 feet in diameter, below which two balconied upper floors circle the central enclave.
1902-1904
Construction of the Dayton Arcade began in 1902 with a grande opening date of March 4, 1904. The original arcade complex consisted of four buildings with three of them connecting to the Rotunda building, known as the market house, in the center of the group.
