Who woulda thunk. <BR/><BR/>Jeffrey, I think I have asked you this before, but do you know anything about a "powder plant" (making ordnance like explosive powders for military purposes) that was located on Springboro Pike about a mile or two south of the target area (close to the current "Habitat" condos)?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7572205562498024454.post-67019175522012313612008-12-17T20:30:00.000-05:002008-12-17T20:30:00.000-05:00Excellent.

I wanted to point out an even earlier remnant that shows up (although you have to use some imagination) in the aerial view of the Dayton-Wright plant, if you blow it up. If you follow the dirt road to the left (north) of the power plant that leads towards the RR and main assembly building, you can see, just before the tracks, that it goes over something, which I believe are the remains of the Snyder Mill lock (Lock 22) on the Miami & Erie Canal--obviously the canal having been abandoned and the mill having been torn down by the time the photo was taken. There is a photo of the mill and lock in Conover's History of Dayton.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
