As I travel down the Edwin C. Moses Boulevard, I take you to the Carillon Historic District. The road was once the former Spruce Street and Miami Boulevard. The city of Dayton dedicated the road to the Olympic Medal runner in the 1990s.

This is a major thoroughfare to the old St. Elizabeth Hospital, the Saint Vincent DePaul Hotel, Dayton Public Schools Welcome Stadium, University Of Dayton Arena, University of Dayton's Time Warner Stadium the former site of Building 26, Carillon Historic Park and nearby Interstate 75 and U.S. Highway 35.

Carillon Historical Park is a park and museum in Dayton, Ohio. Most of the historic buildings and exhibits concerning the history of technology and the history of Dayton and its residents from 1796 to the present. The historical elements of the park were thoughts of Colonel Edward Deeds.

Deeds Carillon. The art modern-style carillon tower was built in 1942, funded by Edward Deeds' wife Edith Walton Deeds and was designed to commemorate the Deeds family. When the tower was built, each of 23 bells was inscribed with the name of a family member, with the "silent" bells bearing the names of deceased family members and ringing bells cast with the names of family members then living. Today, with 57 bells, the carillon is Ohio's largest. The National Park Service listed the Deeds Carillon on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005.

Thanks for viewing and post your comments at the bottom. If you like the Tours of Poor Dayton, you will now see them on this profile. But if you want a recap, go to my original profile http://youtube.com/LILVOKA

FAQ- The reason why I call this A Tour of Poor Dayton is because of the area's declining population, people losing jobs, boarded homes, businesses closing and economic turmoil in Montgomery, Miami and Greene Counties. And mostly Ohio in general. I am giving those who have never been to Dayton a chance to understand the plight of manufacturing communities.

So that will put to rest any questions of why I titled the videos!
