Storied Tudor in Schantz Park 8 THE OAKWOOD REGISTER November 4, 2020 A Tudor treasure in Schantz Park has deep connections to Dayton, Wright history A number of locally prominent architects were kept busy for decades in the Schantz Park neighborhood of Oakwood, working in a variety of eclectic styles that reflected the diverse tastes of the late 1800s into the 1910s, 1920s and 1930s - American Foursquare, Dutch Colonial Revival, International, Neoclassical Revival and Queen Anne, among others. Louis Lott’s diverse creations in Schantz Park range from Craftsman Bungalow, Beaux Arts and Swiss Chalet to Italian Renaissance Revival, Prairie style and Germanic Tudor. Though architect Albert Pretzinger concentrated his talents on Georgian Revival, he also dabbled in Italian Renaissance Revival architecture in Schantz Park, while Walter Schaeffer built both Mission and Tudor style homes on Ridgewood Avenue. Despite such diversity among his contemporaries at work in Oakwood during the early decades of the 20th century, the homes attributed to Ellason Smith in Schantz Park all play to his design forte - Tudor. Smith is known to have designed two Tudor homes in Schantz Park: a Cotswold Cottage-inspired Tudor home on Glendora Avenue built in 1927, and a richly appointed tradi- tional Tudor a year later on Schenck Avenue in 1928. Smith’s creation at 400 Schenck was commissioned by Ezra M.

In 1931 a portion of the tract was detached and renamed Patterson Field. After World War II, the two bases were officially merged as Wright-Patterson Air Force Base under the now distinct Air Force on Jan. 13, 1948. Given the fundraising campaign’s success it’s little wonder that other civic groups had their eye on Kuhns, including the recently formed Dayton Foundation, where Ezra M.

Architectural Styles The Craftsman: An Oakwood classic By Mark W. Risley Craftsman is another prominent architectural style in Oakwood and is associated with the American Arts and Crafts Period (1900-1929). “Revealed construction” is the pri- mary feature of the Craftsman home, whereas, the construction components of the home become the decorative features. Exposed rafter tails and roof brackets under the overhangs are examples of revealed construction. Natural stone is often used in foun- dations, porch columns and chimneys along with colors from nature and accent designs that are “simple, but not plain.” Craftsman Bungalow The design is generally applied to foursquare and bungalow type homes, however, there are several larg- er homes in Oakwood featuring the design. Mission Style furniture and decorative arts such as pottery and lighting of the era complement the interiors. With its textures and colors from nature, Craftsman Style homes can be very inviting.
