Description: Built in 1930, this Italian Renaissance Revival-style building was designed by Edward B. Green to house the Dayton Art Institute, an art museum. The building features a limestone exterior with a front loggia featuring three arched openings, casements windows, a red terra cotta tile hipped roof, copper trim at the base of the roof, decorative corbels, a rusticated base, an octagonal footprint, a main entrance loggia with arched openings at a rear Postmodern-style addition to the building, facing the parking lot, and a large front staircase with rusticated stonework, multiple landings, decorative landscaping, and semi-circular arched niches. The building is a contributing structure in the Steele’s Hill-Grafton Hill Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986, and increased to its present size in 2023.
