Historians, residents trying to save old Wright Brothers building that could face demolition

DAYTON, Ohio — A historic building that was used by airplane inventors the Wright brothers could face demolition, but one group is trying to keep that from happening.

“You know the Wright brothers were probably standing right here, they were at my building, they were at this building,” said nearby business owner Shannon Jackson.

Jackson runs a real estate business in a remodeled historic building in Dayton.

Just outside of her window, across West Third Street, there’s a building that’s been sitting empty and slowly falling apart for years, but she said there’s something more there too.

“For me, to be able to walk to, maybe touch a wall that someone may have touched, maybe even the Wright brothers, that’s exciting,” said Jackson.
