Devastating Fire Destroys Historic Dayton Mansion.

A fire destroyed the Traxler Mansion in Dayton, a historic building that was built in 1911 and has been used for various purposes, including performances by the Dayton Philharmonic. The mansion has been empty for the past 10 years and was scheduled for sheriff sale on May 4. People in the neighborhood are heartbroken and hope to see the mansion restored, even if it's just the front façade or one or two floors. The cause of the fire is under investigation.
