<b>St. Anne's Hill Historic Society Marks Demolition of Historic Oddfellows Hall</b><br />
<br />
Dayton, Ohio - The St. Anne's Hill Historic Society regretfully announces that the historic Oddfellows Hall, located at 6 La Belle Street, is being demolished. The three-story building has contributed to the unique Victorian-era architecture of the St. Anne's Hill Historic District since the Hall was built in the late 1800's. <br />
<br />
Although the building has been abandoned for nearly a decade, the fate of the structure was sealed when one of the main roof trusses collapsed and threatened the integrity and stability of the structure. The local Landmarks Commission approved the demolition in 2012. The City of Dayton hired a contractor to demolish the building as part of their Nuisance Abatement program, which is now underway. <br />
<br />
The St. Anne's Hill Historic Society is extremely disappointed that the building could not be saved, despite the efforts of many people over the years, but nevertheless supports the City's effort to protect the health and safety of the community. The adjacent property owners were facing considerable danger from falling bricks and portions of the roof, as well as an unknown quantity of asbestos.<br />
<br />
Historically, the Oddfellows are groups dedicated to charity and volunteer work in their community, similar to Masons or Rotary Clubs. They were first established in Victorian England, and later created their first American organization in 1819. The first known Dayton lodge was created in 1833, and for a time they were a very successful organization. By 1861, there were reportedly over 200,000 Oddfellows across the county. They remain active around the world, including several surviving lodges in Ohio. <br />
<br />
However in 1982, the remaining Dayton Oddfellows sold their historic LaBelle Street building. Although it changed hands several times in the last thirty years, no one was able to restore the building to the grandeur it once knew. Today, the property taxes stand over $65,000 in arrears. After demolition, the land will mostly likely be foreclosed and sold to the highest bidder for a new development opportunity.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, the St. Anne's Hill community has recently seen a rebirth of new investment and growth. The Fifth Street Brew Pub has been a major success, thanks to a dedicated group of neighborhood leaders. The Turkish-American Cultural Center acquired the former Bomberger Teen Center, and several small businesses have moved in as well. There is currently a new home under construction, which recreates the original structure that once stood there, and many more homes being renovated throughout the neighborhood.<br />
<br />
The St. Anne's Hill Historic Society has also undertaken several projects over the years, including the revitalization of Terry Street Park, and decorative signage and artwork throughout the neighborhood. Last year's "Dickens of a Christmas" holiday tour broke a new record, drawing over 1,000 visitors to downtown Dayton. The Historic Society has offered programs and services to the neighborhood for nearly 40 years.<br />

In St. Anne's Hill, we tend to take a longer view of history than most folks. Living in a 150-year old home will change your perspective a little bit. So a recent blast from the past was all the more surprising when we realized it only went back a handful of years.<br />
<br />
Back in 2009 we reported in <a href="http://stanneshill.blogspot.com/2009/02/new-house.html" target="_blank">another blog post</a> that the owner of a vacant lot on High Street had plans to re-build his childhood home, which was lost to a fire in the 1970's. He announced his intentions to the neighborhood after he was already working with the <a href="http://daytonohio.gov/Pages/default.aspx" target="_blank">City of Dayton</a> and an architect to design the structure and apply for building permits.<br />
<br />
Then, nothing. Nada. Zip. Maybe it was just a dream. He seemed to have vanished, and we heard nothing more about it. <br />
<br />
Until now!<br />
<br />

<br />
All of sudden, there was a big hole in the ground! And bricks! And mortar! And men working! Much to our surprise, the house is now under construction. We verified that he finally pulled a building permit earlier this year and the house is literally rising up from the dirt, like a phoenix rising from the ashes.<br />
<br />
This is the first new construction in St. Anne's Hill in many years, perhaps even since it became a registered historic district and "modern" architecture was essentially banned from the neighborhood. Let me tell you, recreating a historic structure from scratch is probably the most difficult way someone could possibly choose to build a house - and it looks like he might just pull it off.<br />
<br />
Stay tuned for more news as this project unfolds! With the new <a href="http://www.fifthstreet.coop/" target="_blank">Fifth Street Brewpub</a>, and the <a href="http://www.razoo.com/story/Terry-Park-Challenge-Grant" target="_blank">Terry Street Park</a> project both under construction, there is a lot of excitement in St. Anne's Hill again. Come be a part of it!<br />

More good news for St. Anne's Hill this week! The <a href="http://cityofdayton.org/departments/pw/ce/Pages/default.aspx" target="_blank">City of Dayton </a>is investing thousands of dollars to replace the sewer lines on Henry Street. This represents a significant infrastructure project for our community. <br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Please note that portions of Henry Street will be closed at various times during the construction period</b>. The project is estimated to take 60 days or less.<br />
<br />
We also appreciate that McLain Street was re-surfaced last year, and that Fifth Street is scheduled for a major repaving project in 2016. These projects demonstrate how sustainable communities can be revitalized with new public investments at a fraction of the cost of new development.<br />
<br />
Please stay tuned for more exciting news in St. Anne's Hill soon!<br />

Here's <a href="http://www.daytoncitypaper.com/on-the-threshold/" target="_blank">another great article</a> from the <b>Dayton City Paper</b> about our neighborhood treasure, Stivers School for the Arts! <br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>“Thresholds,” is described by the school as “an
impressive example of public sculpture that extends an invitation to the
community while enriching the visual legacy of the Stivers campus.” The
intersection of blue, orange and grey painted steel planes provides the
piece’s structure, and the work plays on the use of straight and curved
edges. This sculpture invites the public to interact with it. Situated
near the corner of Keowee and Fifth Streets, visitors can walk around
and through the two main components of the structure.</i></blockquote>

<a href="http://www.razoo.com/story/Terry-Park-Challenge-Grant?fb_ref=rdvAS6HWf&referral_code=share" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> Click here to donate today!</a><br />
<br />
The Terry Street Park is a small property that was acquired
by the St. Anne's Hill Historic Society nearly 20 years ago. Since
then, it has been a left open as a public space, but it was never much
to look at.<br />
<br />
Thanks to a mini-grant from the <a href="http://www.cityofdayton.org/departments/pcd/Pages/NeighborhoodMini-Grants.aspx" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">City of Dayton</a>, the neighborhood is
now moving forward with a plan to revitalize this corner lot with a new
ornamental iron gateway (similar to the photo below), a bocce ball
court, and beautiful landscaping to create a peaceful spot for neighbors
to spend the day!<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, we do not have enough funding to complete everything in the plan. With <b>your</b>
support, we can revitalize this property for the benefit of the east
Dayton community including St. Anne's Hill, Huffman Historic District,
and Newcom Plains - as well as the many residents traveling to and from
Downtown or Stivers School for the Arts.<br />
<br />
Please contribute $10, $25, or whatever you can offer today! If we
meet our fundraising goal, we may be able to complete the project this
year.<br />
<br />
The St. Anne's Hill Historic Society is a 501(c)3 organization that
represents the St. Anne's Hill Historic District neighborhood. Every
donation is tax deductible.<br />

"The City of Dayton has agreed to sell the Bomberger Center (1306 E. Fifth St.) to the Ahiska Turkish American Community Center of Dayton, following the signing of a purchase agreement on Wednesday, April 25. </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
The 22,276-sq.-ft. structure, constructed in 1956, will be used as a multi-purpose community center for education, recreation and community services for the Ahiska Turkish community and others. Some of the services to be offered will include English as Second Language (ESL) and citizenship classes. </blockquote>

The <a href="http://ataccdayton.org/" target="_blank">Ahiska Turkish American Community Center of Dayton</a> is a non-profit organization serving Dayton’s Ahiska Turkish community, an immigrant community estimated to include 350 families. The community began settling in Dayton in 2005. </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Under the terms of the agreement, the Ahiska Turkish American Community Center agrees to a purchase price of $831,000, an amount that will be forgiven over a 10-year period if the organization continues to operate and maintain the building as agreed. Under the agreement, the facility will remain as a community center. </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
The Ahiska Center, through the grants it received from the Turkish Government, is committing $45,000 to short-term repairs of the building’s entrance walkways and stairs, and will set aside an additional $50,000 for possible future major repairs. The Turkish Government has also expressed its continued commitment to the operation and upkeep of the Center. The group is expected to begin moving into the facility shortly."</blockquote>

The results of the <a href="http://factfinder2.census.gov/" target="_blank">2010 Census</a> are rolling in! Although the "big picture" numbers were released last year, the detailed local numbers are still coming out. The <a href="http://www.stanneshill.org/" target="_blank">St. Anne's Hill Historic District</a> is almost entirely represented by one Census Tract Block Group - Dayton Tract 19, Block Group 2. </div><div style="border: medium none;"><br />
</div><div style="border: medium none;">Unfortunately, the east side of McClure Street is left out and a few homes from the <a href="http://historichuffman.org/" target="_blank">Huffman Historic District</a> on Terry Street are included instead. However, some people have suggested that the southern block of Terry Street should've been part of St. Anne's Hill anyway, so maybe it all balances out in the end.</div><div style="border: medium none;"><br />
</div><div style="border: medium none;">So the numbers are not a completely accurate representation of our neighborhood, but it is pretty close. Here's what we found so far....</div><div style="border: medium none;"><br />

<br />
On our <a href="http://stanneshill.blogspot.com/2011/12/happy-holidays.html" target="_blank">holiday home tours</a>, we often note that Daytonians found refuge in St. Anne's Hill, due to its advantageous location overlooking Downtown, which was underwater at that time. Here now are some amazing images of the St. Anne's Hill neighborhood during that fateful time....<br />
