Colonel White High School was built in 1929 in Dayton Ohio. It stood on the corner of Wabash and Niagara in Upper Dayton View until it was demolished in 2008.Colonel White was named for Colonel William Jeremiah White, an officer who fought in the Spanish–American War. It was named for White because he had been superintendent of Dayton Schools in 1888 and lived in Lower Dayton View.Initially, Colonel White school was a junior high school. An auditorium, east wing, and south wing were added during the 1950s and 1960s as the school became a high school. Briefly, students attended Colonel White for their first two years, and then would attend Fairview High School for Junior and Senior years.In 1957, Jack A. DeVelbiss (1927–1988) became the music director of Colonel White High School. DeVelbiss is responsible for creating the "Little Colonels," a drill team famous for precision military-style marching. He also created a range of music programs and directed several musicals in the newly-built auditorium. This began Colonel White's legacy as an award-winning music and theatre school.As the demographics of Dayton View shifted, the high school was the cite of racial unrest. Rioting erupted in cities across America. A riot broke out in West Dayton when white men in a car shot Lester Mitchell at 3 am on September 1, 1966. Dayton View was a neighborhood that was open to Black residents. It had a large Jewish Community and was home to three Synagogues at the time. It was also home to Appalachian migrants and southern and eastern European immigrant communities. By the time Dayton Public Schools were ordered to desegregate, Colonel White was already racially balanced and was exempt from busing.In 1983, the name of the school was changed to The Colonel White High School for the Performing Arts. The land it stood on was eventually sold to Frederick Holley for $4,290.

The final patients were discharged on July 20, 2018. and the hospital officially closed on July 23, 2018. The closure of the hospital was considered highly controversial due to its status as the only hospital within Dayton's impoverished and largely black west side. A complaint regarding the closure was filed with the U.S. Department of Health and the closure was met with a number of protests. In November 2018, the scope of the civil rights complaint was expanded, alleging that Premier Health practices a pattern of discriminatory investment in regards to its placement of properties. Upon completion of the complaint investigation, the Office for Civil Rights found no civil rights violations in the hospital closure.

The Kenilworth Avenue Historic District is a historic district in the northwestern portion of Dayton, Ohio, United States. Composed largely of houses constructed after the Great Flood of 1913, the district features examples of several prominent architectural styles, and it has received both local and federal recognition. Following the 1913 flood, many wealthy residents decided to flee the older parts of the city, located in the floodplain along the Great Miami River. The result was the development of Kenilworth Avenue, whose houses feature a range of design modes, including the Italianate, Tudor Revival, Colonial Revival, and Neoclassical styles. Also known as "Dayton View Heights" (the district is just three blocks north of the larger Dayton View Historic District), the Kenilworth Avenue development includes twenty separate buildings, located on both sides of the street from Redfern Avenue west to its end at Salem Avenue. Seventeen of these buildings qualified as contributing properties to the district, while three were considered non-contributing: the district's period of significance was held to have ended in 1949, and some of the buildings were constructed in the 1950s and 1960s. Among the oldest properties in the district is the house at the corner of Kenilworth and Salem, which was constructed in 1906. When the street was developed, many of the new residents desired to live in a park-like setting, and as a result, the street's well-preserved landscaping is itself a significant part of the historic district.On March 1, 2006, Dayton City Commission modified the neighborhood's zoning classification by designating the area a local historic district, and it was subsequently added to the National Register of Historic Places five months later. Federal designation places no restrictions on the residents' abilities to modify or destroy buildings in the district, but local designation means that local authorities must approve changes to the district's properties. When designated, Kenilworth Avenue was the city's twelfth official historic district, and its eighteenth National Register district. It is one of six northwest-side historic districts, along with Dayton View, Grafton-Rockwood, Squirrel-Forest, McPherson Town, and Steele's Hill-Grafton Hill.

The Stillwater River is a 69.3-mile-long (111.5 km) tributary of the Great Miami River in western Ohio in the United States. Via the Great Miami and Ohio rivers, it is part of the Mississippi River watershed. It rises near the Indiana state line, in western Darke County, approximately 10 miles (16 km) northwest of Greenville. It flows east-southeast and is joined by Greenville Creek in Covington, approximately 5 miles (8 km) west of Piqua. It flows south past Covington and Englewood, where it is dammed for flood control, then southeast to join the Great Miami River in Dayton. Stillwater River was so named on account of its relatively slow current. The Stillwater River was one of the Great Miami River tributaries that flooded during the Great Dayton Flood of 1913, resulting in the creation of the Miami Conservancy District.

Mikesell's Potato Chip Company is a Dayton, Ohio-based producer of potato chips and other snack foods. It bills itself as the "oldest continuous operating potato chip company in the United States." In 2010, Mikesell's celebrated its 100th year as a potato chip brand. Mikesell's products are available in retail markets in Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, and Illinois. They may also be ordered online from the company's website and shipped anywhere outside the company's retail area. Mikesell's was founded by Daniel W. Mikesell in Dayton, Ohio in 1910 as a producer of dried beef and sausage. However, the company soon began producing "Saratoga Chips." The "Mikesell's" name and logo were adopted in 1925.Varieties of chips produced by the company include Original, Groovy (ridged), Old Fashioned, Himalayan Sea Salt and Vinegar, Reduced Fat, No Salt, Green Onion, Honey Barbecue, Barbecue, Zesty Barbecue, Mesquite Smoked Bacon, Cheddar & Sour Cream, and Good'n Hot. Mikesell's makes other products, including hull-less "Puffcorn Delites." Puffcorn Delites are made in four flavors—original, cheese, movie theater butter, salted caramel, and newly Pepperoni Pizza. A local candy maker, Esther Price, sells the chips coated in chocolate.Mikesell's potato chips are often found in chicken dinners, pork dinners, and other meals benefiting local organizations.An episode of Columbo, Season 9, Episode 6, "Murder in Malibu" had a bag of Mikesell's potato chips in the background of the breakfast diner scene. This episode was filmed in 1990, the 80th anniversary of Mikesell's. This was likely a promotional placement, as California was not in the distribution area of Mikesell's. Mikesell’s potato chips were also seen in a grocery store in an episode of The King of Queens S8E10 - Raygin’ Bulls while Doug Heffernan and Ray Barone were discussing sleepover plans while the wives were out of town. On February 1, 2023, Mikesell's announced their planned closure and liquidation of assets, with the intention to sell the brand and IP rights to another manufacturer. No timetable was immediately available. The brand was purchased by Conn's Potato Chips on February 13 and production resumed on February 14.

The Jenet-Roetter House at 148 Squirrel Road in the Five Oaks District of Dayton, Ohio is a private home known as a notable example of Prairie School architecture made popular by famous American architect Frank Lloyd Wright. It was designed by the Dayton architectural firm Schenck and Williams, which also designed the Wright Brothers home Hawthorn Hill, which is a National Historic Landmark open to the public. The house, built in 1913, is included as a full page in the City of Dayton’s Blueprint for Preservation handbook, and in 2019 with the help of Dayton Historic Preservation Officer Rachel Bankowitz and Chief Planner/Plan Board Secretary Ann Schenking was designated as a Dayton Historic Landmark following unanimous approval by the Dayton Landmarks Commission, Dayton Plan Board, and the Dayton City Commission.According to research by writer and academic librarian Andrew Walsh, author of "Lost Dayton" and the Dayton Vistas blog, Carrie E. Jenet was born circa 1861 in Illinois to German parents. She is recorded as acquiring the 8,735 square foot lot in 1911. Carrie Jenet and her sister Elizabeth Jenet were sisters-in-law to the head of household William J. Roetter. Roetter spent 47 years as a buyer for the linen and white goods department of the Rike-Kumler Co. and was also a Mason and member of the First Lutheran Church. It is likely that Roetter made a significant financial contribution to purchase the lot for $1,200, hire the architectural firm of Schenck and Williams, and construct the house for $7,500. A garage was later added at a cost of about $300. A 1917 "Dayton Herald" article identified Carrie Jenet as a “modiste,” or dressmaker, who dealt in high-end fashion by “enchanting the color, style, and fabric of garments.” She traveled to Cuba, Panama, Peru, Bolivia, Chile, Argentina, Brazil and the Barbados for her business. She never married and died on July 5, 1938. According to Walsh, the researcher, in the 1950s the house was owned by Charles W. Danis Sr. and his wife Elizabeth S. Danis. Charles Danis was chairman of the preeminent building and highway construction company Danis Industries, founded by his father B.G. Danis. His company was the contractor for many buildings in the region and in Dayton, including several designed by Schenck and Williams, such as Hawthorn Hill and the Engineers Club of Dayton. He received the Spirit of America Heritage Award in 1975 from Junior Achievement of Dayton and Miami Valley at a dinner attended by 1,200, according to a page-21 article in The Journal Herald on May 1, 1975. He retired from the company in 1983 and died in 1996 at the age of 80. According to an Aug. 5, 2003 Dayton Daily News page-10 article by Sean Strader, Elizabeth Danis, a teacher for many years, was a member of the Dayton Catholic Women’s Club, Dayton Garden Club, and the Dayton Women’s Club. She died in 2003 at the age of 85. In the 1970s, according to researcher Walsh, the house was owned by John H. Dirck. Dirck was assistant vice president of data processing programming at Citizens Federal Savings and Loan Association. A 1987 Dayton Daily News article said he performed on weekends in the Columbus area with Columbus WCMH-TV Channel 4 newscaster Joe Dirck in a group called The Pink Flamingoes.Inside, the house has 11 rooms, which include five bedrooms and three bathrooms, a great room with a large fireplace, an office with built-in book shelves, a dining room with built-in display and storage cabinets, a breakfast room, a sunroom, and a full kitchen with a butler's nook. In 1978 the house was listed on the Ohio Historic Inventory maintained by the Ohio Historic Preservation Office. The house had a number of owners over the years, fell into disrepair, was cosmetically rehabbed by house flippers who purchased it after foreclosure, and today is owned by Steven and Mary Solomon. Due to the restoration efforts of the Solomons, the house was selected by Preservation Dayton Inc. for its Excellence in Historic Preservation Award in 2020. The house and the Solomons were featured as the cover story on six pages in the May 5, 2021 Distinctive Homes supplement of The Oakwood Register.
