Abandoned Louis Traxler Mansion 1910 

Was so heartbroken too hear when this place burned down!! So glad I could take a peek at it before!! Loved the history and old pictures great video! :)

My heart cries out for places like these. So beautiful and timeless. There will never be craftsmanship such as this ever again. It's so sad. Thank you for sharing with us!

Thankfully, you were able to document the beauty of this place before it was burned and demolished. Its beauty shined through despite the damage done before the fire. It's such a shame. Thank you.

What a beautiful presentation! The architecture is stunning. It's a shame how it has trash strewn all over. How breathtaking it must have been in its day. Thank you for all the work you put into your videos. The music was perfect!😊

What an absolute shame that it cannot be enjoyed any more. Thank you for taking the time to document it for us.

Such a beautiful home. So sad.congratulations on your well earned achievement. Proud to be one of them.❤

How sad to see such a beautiful home end up in this shape. It made me want to cry. Someone 's dream up in ruins, then gone forever up in smoke.

"Don't let it bring you down, it's only castles burning, find someone who's turning, and you will come around." --Bob Dylan

That was so sad, from beginning to end.

I'm a third generation Daytonian. The Traxler place was frustrating to watch. The pattern is: the money to buy and maintain such houses moves south to build new mansions on virgin farmland. Dayton has a program to demolish abandoned properties to keep it from becoming another Detroit. Many beautiful, and historic, houses and buildings, are gone. When someone takes the initiative to save such a place, and has it put on the register, and no viable source comes forward with the plan, purpose, and money to revitalize, and they know in advance of the prospects of an auction, or they have already found a better use for the land it sits on, it might meet with a fire in the night for which the arson is never found. It's not my intention to accuse, or to air our dirty laundry, but Dayton is no different than hundreds of other towns accross the Rust Belt, and America, who do much less. Revitalization and gentrification are slow growing seeds that do not come to fruition for generation. If there are enough from a throw away society to carry it on.

A Huge Thank You for the history of the Louis Traxler mansion. A bonus feature makes me Proud to be Subscriber of UrbanEye. House 'had' been Gorgeous, sad to see gone to such shape then read where burned & demolished.

I live three blocks away from where the Traxler Mansion stood. It was the crown jewel of the neighborhood. The house was supposed to go up for auction the week it burned down. We were all just so heartbroken. The owners would not let go of it. At long last it went up for auction for back taxes and then it was gone. Just like that.

What a beautiful home. It could have been a museum or an art gallery or some sort of venue for weddings, functions.

It looked structurally sound, heart breaking that it burned.

So sad this place burned down.

Did I miss something; If this landmark residence was added to the National Register of Historical Houses in 1979, why is it not protected & preserved in perpetuity?

I coulda sent you some pics too use in your video!

A beautiful home destroyed by vandalism. So sad to loose these mansions from the past.

Sad that it cannot be sold for 1$ so someone can give it its dignity back .... smh ... i do not get why these are abandoned ... so sad

Looks like the roof held up well until the fire.

Lived in Dayton 2010-15. West side of the river is a ghetto. One would have to be crazy to waste money trying to save this beautiful house. Not safe on that side and would never get a return on your investment.

Shame on the local-Yokols for trashing that house😢 If I had money, I would buy and restore that house to its original beauty except modernize the kitchen that’s it ❤ What a beautiful home❤🥰 Oh no I just saw the last one minute of this video. 😭😭😭😭 what a waste

I came across this place about a month before it was set on fire, i tried reaching out to the owner by phone, my biggest concern was if i purchased the property i had no way of getting a team there quick enough to clean up the property and prorect it from vandalism. If anyone can put me in contact with the owner i like to know what their plans are
