The Oregon Historic District embraces the earliest surviving, relatively intact combination of commercial and residential architecture in Dayton, Ohio. Examples of Dayton’s architectural history from 1830 to 1910 line the streets and lanes in this 40-plus block area. Styles range from Federal to Queen Anne. Excellent examples of late Victorian commercial and residential architecture illustrate both the entrepreneurial success and the increasing affluence of many Oregon merchants and residents. The district is populated with art galleries, specialty shops, pubs, nightclubs, and coffee houses.[2]

Historic District

In 1974, Oregon was registered on the National Register of Historic Places, between Patterson Blvd. and Wayne Ave., north to Gates St. and south to U.S. 35, and Downtown Dayton (No. 75001506).[3] City of Dayton Ordinance #24358-9.[4]

East Fifth Street

A popular local attraction, the commercial part of the Oregon District sits in between Patterson Blvd. and Wayne Ave. on E.
