1 / 13
Preservation Dayton Inc., a Dayton non-profit, will attempt to stabilize 10 historic properties in Dayton with the hopes of finding an investor to rehabilitate each one. This Jacobean Tudor home in the Dayton View Historic District was built in 1910 for Leopold Rauh.
Rauh was the president of the Egry Register Company instrumental in establishing Dayton's commission-manager form of government.
Designed by Dayton architect Albert Pretzinger, the home has 24 rooms and 8 1/2 baths. During the housing shortage of World War II, the third-floor ballroom was converted to six bedrooms and occupied. LISA POWELL / STAFF
