On April 15, 2009 City Commission voted to Remand the case of the National Register of Historic Places listed Julienne Girls High School (Dayton Christian, Stivers ) located at 325 Homewood in the Five Oaks neighborhood.
The Dayton City Commission voted to deny the HD(3) zoning overlay, but did not directly vote against it. Commission, Remanded the case to Plan Board with instructions.. The building can now be demolished to build a new school on the site. Tell Dayton Public Schools (DPS) and the City of Dayton Commission that Julienne can be saved from demolition. It can be preserved by rehabilitated or adaptive re-use.
Links to success stories:
The building was last used for Stivers School for the Arts and has been vacant since October of 2007. It is structurally stable and architecturally significant. FONIA is not opposed to selective demolition. The demographics support a neighborhood school. The area around the site has more school age children than any where else in the city, but we have no public school. There is room to build a new school in Five Oaks without demolishing Julienne.
We can not let Dayton Public Schools demolish another one of Dayton's Historic and Architectural assets. We have lost too many all ready. Roosevelt, EJ Brown, Steele, Van Cleeve are already gone. These buildings belong to the people of Dayton and were build to last.
