other

The Dayton’s Project occupies a twelve-story structure spanning an entire city block, identifiable by its massive footprint and the custom brass letter D inlaid at its entrances. This building served as the flagship department store for the Dayton Company for over one hundred years.

Through sixteen separate additions, the store grew to cover three-quarters of the block, eventually housing famous spaces like the Oak Grill and the Sky Room.
