Dayton Daily News Building
The Dayton Daily News Building is a historic structure located at the corner of 4th and Ludlow Streets in Dayton, Ohio. It was designed by architect Albert Pretzinger for ''Dayton Daily News'' founder James M. Cox. According to Cox's autobiography, he was turned down for a loan by a local banker who told him “Newspapers have never been known to earn money. Of course we can’t accommodate you.” After being turned down for a bank loan to start the paper, Cox asked Pretzinger to "build him a damn bank" so it was modeled after the Knickerbocker Trust building in New York City. Among the most significant components of the three-story building are those surrounding the entrance: three bays wide, the facade features a set of Corinthian columns, a set of fluted columns in the Doric order that form a grand frontispiece around the entrance, and a partial pediment with a cornice supported by cornucopiae. Its walls are built of a mixture of wood and granite. The building was erec ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
South High School (Springfield, Ohio)
South High School was a public high school in Springfield, Ohio. It was one of two high schools in the Springfield City School District (SCSD), the other school being North High School. The school was created in 1960 when the original Springfield High School was divided into North and South High Schools. South was housed in the original Springfield High School, built in 1911, and assumed the SHS school colors of blue and gold and the athletic team name Wildcats. The building was designed by Albert Pretzinger of Dayton and modeled after the Library of Congress. South was closed in 2008 when enrollment declines in the Springfield City School District necessitated consolidating the two high schools and re-establishing Springfield High School. The new Springfield High School was built at what had been the North High School campus and the North High School building was demolished. Thanks to a large state grant, local donations, and the school district's investment, the former South ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
