Circa 1829, the Oregon Neighborhood was born and homes began to spring up in the area known as Dayton’s first neighborhood. The Miami-Erie Canal was the inspiration for the early roots of the neighborhood. The wealthy and working families built homes side by side. Ultimately the area became the Historic Oregon District, Dayton’s first National Register Historic District. Like in many neighborhoods, there are iconic homes. Homes where movers and shakers called home; homes that have significant architecture. Oregon is no different and 248 Green St is one such home. Built in 1853, this 4-bedroom 2.5 bath home was renovated in the early days of Oregon’s revival. If you have ever been in Oregon, you will recognize this beautiful home. This home was once owned by the Lowe family, parents of the American actor, Rob Lowe. They gutted out this structure, added an addition that would be a 2-car garage with 2 additional bedrooms. The structure was renovated into a beautiful space with a 2-story living room which the primary bedroom on the 2nd floor overlooks! A beautiful eat-in kitchen was built. A new brick enclosed 2-story entry was built. A 2-story vintage art glass window was brought from out of state and installed in the entry. Several other pieces of vintage art glass were installed in the house. The front door and limestone surround were salvaged from an estate home in Xenia when the tornado demolished that home. The very private garden space was born when a wall of brick and iron fencing was built. This expansive wall was tuckpointed in 2024. Beautifully landscaped with trees and shrubs, a brick walkway leads to a private courtyard at the rear of the home.Show Description
