The Five Oaks neighborhood has been working hard to promote the area and preserve its History.
The neighborhood in collaboration with the City has developed a
"Historic Plan" for the neighborhood. Three separate small "Historic
Districts" are being proposed for Five Oaks. They will be in addition
to the Kenilworth Historic District that is currently in Five Oaks.
The Three new districts will be : Grafton, Forest Ave and Manhattan.
In addition, the neighborhood and Julienne alumni association are
working to save the "Julienne High School" site from demolition. Dayton
Public School plans demolition of the site in Oct.2007.
Please see our Video for more information.
We need your help to preserve one of Dayton's finest school buildings !
Is there an admission fee for this fine tour?
