This view of downtown is the subject of this week's update to the popular Then & Now photo feature, which explores past and present views of notable Dayton locations.
At the far left side of the photograph is Newcom Tavern, one of Daytonâs earliest structures.
Originally built in 1796 at the southwest corner of Main and Water (now Monument) streets, the building was moved to the levee along the river when a new apartment building (far right) was built in 1894.
Today the CareSource building stands in place of the high school and Newcom Tavern is on display at Carillon Park.
