The Oregon District is a historic neighborhood in Dayton, Ohio.  The Oregon District's Growth started with the opening of the Miami Canal which ran through Dayton.  Its quaint buildings depict Federal, Queen Anne, and Victorian architectural styles and were built from 1820 to 1915.  The Thomas Brown Brickyard led to the rise of the district through better-built homes and brick paved streets.  Eventually, the Oregon District served as a home for prosperous businessmen.
