| Built in stages, in the "Art Moderne" style, Talbott Tower is touted as an "Architectural Gem" in the Dayton Art Institute's Architectural Walking Tour . The long and sleek horizontal nature of the first section of Talbott Tower (built in 1938) is classic "Art Moderne" architecture with glass blocks, still accentuating the first three floors. Some still refer to the original portion of the building as "Billy Lewis' Dress Shop", since this retail store was located on the rounded corner of the building (on 1st and Ludlow) for many years. In 1948, three additional floors and a parking garage were added adjacent to the original structure. This more than doubled the size of the building footprint. The "Tower" portion was built in 1958, making this 14-story building the 12th tallest building in Dayton. Mead World Headquarters called Talbott Tower their home for nearly two decades. |
