Dayton Street

Photos are ordered from west to east.

43. Building with Telephone Booth

Address: 142 Dayton St.
Likely the location of Rosie’s Natural Foods today, it’s difficult to assess what was inside this building when this photo was taken. To the left of the building is a telephone booth.

44. Ford

In this image and Image 45, Ford appears to encompass the buildings that now hold Garmint Boutique, Rose and Sal Vintage Shop, Tik’s Thai Express LLC, and Super-Fly Comics & Games.

45. Hugh’s Ford Inc.

46. Dayton St. Alley

This image shows the alley between today’s Super-Fly and Gulch Saloon. Then, it was Ford and a cafe, respectively, though the name of the cafe is unknown based on the sign in the photo. In the cafe window, a Carling beer sign can be seen, calling back to the Carling beer truck in Image 7.

47. Empty Building

Address: 126 Dayton St.
This image shows the building where current-day Lucky Dragon is housed. In the photo, it appears to be empty. To its right is Stag Cleaners.

48. O’Sullivan’s Shoe Service and Village Barber Shop

These two businesses sit where The Joynt and In Salon sit today. Though the 120 Dayton St. building has not always been a hair salon/barber shop, it’s interesting that similar businesses were in the building in this photo and today.

49. Pittsburgh Paints

Address: 118 Dayton St.
Pittsburgh Paints appears to have been managed by AC Service because of the AC Service signs in their windows. Today, this building is empty.

50. AC Service

Address: 116 Dayton St.
This photo depicts AC Service and the building that now holds Village Cyclery. AC Service still operates out of this building.

51. Lowe Brothers Appliances

Address: 108 Dayton St.
Lowe Brothers Appliances was in the building space that holds the Yellow Springs Baking Company today. A sign in the window says “It’s Spring – Time to Buy her a Dryer”.

52. Myzon Building

Address: 100 Dayton St.
This image shows Myzon, an animal food supply store. Today, the Railroad Street Parking Lot is at this location.

53. Front of Myzon and Purity Feeds

Address: 100 Dayton St.
Another view of Myzon, this photo also shows the railroad tracks that are today’s bike path. The Myzon sign says, “New Scientific Health Discovery” and “Hogs, Poultry, Cattle”. It’s unclear whether the Purity Feeds signs were representing another business or a brand sold at Myzon.
