These concrete steps are all that remain of the Dayton Quarantine Hospital. 

It opened in 1887 to house patients suffering from smallpox. Later, the hospital treated patients with social diseases and alcoholism. The hospital finally closed in 1949. 

Also known as the Pestilence Hospital or the Pest House, the hospital was demolished in 1955.
The city of Dayton played an important role in the history of the bicycle. The Wright Brothers owned a bicycle shop before delving into aviation. Huffy brand bicycles started in Dayton.

Carillon Historical Park has a building dedicated to bicycles including a couple penny farthings, a bone shaker, a Huffy radio bike and this triple tandem gem.
