Engineers Club of Dayton

The Engineers Club of Dayton is a clubhouse in downtown Dayton housed in a building from 1918 at 110 East Monument Avenue, designed to host professional gatherings and events. The structure contains dining facilities, meeting rooms, and social spaces that serve its membership community.

The club was founded in 1914 by Colonel Edward A. Deeds and Charles F. Kettering, with its building completed in 1918. Orville Wright, one of the pioneering aviators, served as the club's fourth president during its early years.

The club brings together engineers, scientists, and business professionals from the Dayton region who gather here to network and share knowledge. You can see how this tradition continues to shape how the spaces are used and valued by its members today.

The building sits in an accessible downtown location and its exterior can be viewed from the street, though interior access is limited to members. Those interested in learning more about the structure can inquire about special tours or open house events that may be offered.

The building still contains its original central vacuum system installed during construction, along with a synchronized network of wall clocks throughout its rooms. These early 20th-century technological systems continue to function in many areas of the structure today.
