A great engraving of an old Dayton landmark. Unfortunately no longer standing. It wasn't used as a school after 1940 or so, and was torn down in August of 1955 to make way for a parking garage. The artist, LeRoy D. Sauer was a commercial art instructor at the Dayton Art Institute. There was renewed interest in his work in the early 1970's and reproductions of many of his works were hanging at Custom Electronics, a stereo and ham radio supply, operated by LeRoy's son, Richard J. Sauer. LeRoy also illustrated a book on Tropical Fish and was a founder of a Dayton Society of Etchers.
