Statement of Significance The East Third Street Historic District meets Criterion A for its significance in the area of industrial development of Dayton, Ohio beginning in 1893 and continuing into the 20th century. The district evolved as a location for light industry and warehousing in the late 19th and early 20th century due to the incorporation of a spur rail line and East Third Street thoroughfare. During its period of significance, the district was home to a remarkable variety of businesses including wholesale grocery companies, coffee roasters, tobacco wholesalers, paper distributors, and a paint manufacturer. Several of these businesses are notable for their longevity.

The district is also significant under Criterion C in the area of architecture for its contribution to the architectural development of industrial buildings in Dayton during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The district exhibits a varied collection of Commercial style architecture as applied to industrial use details, parapets, and cornices, as well as original windows and most storefronts. A cohesive entity, the district is free of intrusions and vacant lots. The district includes 6 distinctive buildings and a brick paver alley, and each contributes to the district's significance. Historical Development Prior to construction of the present buildings, the block now encompassed by the East Third Street Historic District was the location of several small-scale commercial buildings and storage for a coal and lumber yard.

By the late 1880s, a rail spur had been constructed behind the buildings to facilitate rail shipment of products produced just west of Wayne Avenue by companies that manufactured a variety of building construction products and brass valves. During the late 19th century the blocks directly east of Dayton's central business district developed that had emerged as the result of activities associated with the Miami and Erie Canal, which was located approximately one block west of the district. (The canal has since been filled in and is now known as Patterson Boulevard). During the mid 19th century another form of transportation helped foster the development of the district.
