Our History

The South Park Historic District is a 24-block area of more than 700 structures dating from the 1880s to the early twentieth century.  It is located within walking distance of the Oregon Historic District, downtown Dayton, the campus of the University of Dayton, and Miami Valley Hospital. Mainly residential in character, South Park is significant because of the variety of its architecture, which includes vernacular, cottage, and high style examples, and because of its association with John H. Patterson, founder of the National Cash Register Company.
