A
Dayton Landmark
The
Kettering Tower’s steel and glass structure
brings an air of classic Manhattan style
to the Dayton skyline. At 30 stories
tall, the building is the largest and
tallest building in Dayton. The length
of the building at street level extends
one full city block. The tower’s full
height windows afford a variety of striking
views and abundant daylight.
The
Result of a Vision
The
building opened for business in 1972.
It was a culmination of the vision of
Eugene W. Kettering, the son of Charles
Kettering, prolific inventor and founder
of Delco Electronics Corp. Eugene Kettering
envisioned the construction of a first-class
office tower that would become the catalyst
to the entrepreneurial growth and development
of downtown Dayton.
In
addition to the building’s striking
exterior design, the Kettering Tower
features an expansive lobby with high
ceilings, rich teak wood, natural stone
finishes and original artwork. The tower
was recently renovated with new chillers,
elevators and signage throughout.
