E. THE BUILDINGS OF SHENANDOAH COLLEGE IN DAYTON, VA.
Dayton Historic District (June 1984).52 Summary Description. Dayton, one of several
turnpike towns along the Harrisonburg-Warm Springs Turnpike, is located several miles southwest of
Harrisonburg in the central valley of Virginia. Established in the second quarter of the 19th century,
Dayton found its early settlement concentrated along present-day College Street and Main Street, the old
turnpike. The historic district comprises this older antebellum core of Dayton, along with several
surrounding late 19th-century residential neighborhoods. The post-1949 residential developments further
west have been omitted. The boundaries of the district encompass 195 major structures, of which 41 are
considered noncontributing, largely because of their recent dates. The district proudly displays the fruits
of the town’s prosperity, with a fine collection of vernacular structures typical of local styles from the
early 19th to the early 20th century. Late 19th-century commercial and residential structures are
interspersed with mid-19th-century houses in the older part of town. The turn-of-the-century residential
neighborhoods are sited picturesquely on a hill to the south and west: of the community’s antebellum
structures.
