The Traxler Mansion, located at 42 Yale Ave. in the Dayton View Historic District, was built around 1910 for Louis Traxler, a Dayton department store owner. The elegant 10,000 square-foot home was built in the French Chateauesque style, the same concept as the storied Biltmore House on the Biltmore Estate in Ashville, NC. The mansion has been vacant for a decade and Preservation Dayton Inc. would like to save it, and other properties like it, before they are lost forever. LISA POWELL / STAFF
