Notes Originally named the American Building, this building was vacant and delapidated for several years and it's future has been questioned several times...until 1999 when RTA (Regional Transit Authority) unveiled their plans to purchase the 70 year old building and perform a $2,000,000 renovation to make it the downtown RTA Hub Headquarters. The building was renovated inside and out, and additions were added on the east and south sides with the facade being reused from a 65 year old building that was once a part of downtown Dayton. Renovation is 100% complete and this building is an excellent example of how well an old building can bring new life to a downtown.
