The Dayton Arcade Rotunda
The Dayton Arcade is a collection of nine buildings in Dayton, Ohio. Built between 1902-1904, it was conceived by Eugene J. Barney of the Barney & Smith Car Company and consists of nine interconnecting buildings topped by a glass-domed rotunda, 70 feet high and 90 feet in diameter. Detailing around the dome includes oak leaves and acorns, grain, ram's heads, wild turkeys, and cornucopia. The architect was Frank M. Andrews, known also as architect for many of NCR's factory buildings.
After being mothballed, unused, and deteriorating, with many false starts and lackluster investment spanning well over thirty years the Dayton Arcade officially reopened to the public Aug. 6 and 7th, 2021 with a two-day Arcade Festival.
