Step into Dayton’s past with the Michael Neil House, a cornerstone of the prestigious Grafton Hill Historic District. Built in 1898 for Michael Neil—the visionary who platted the Wolf Creek area—and later owned by Charles M. Seybold, this brick Queen Anne masterpiece is more than a home; it is a legacy. Situated on nearly a half acre minutes from Downtown Dayton, the Dayton Art Institute, Dayton's Historic Masonic Lodge. During the years of Charles Seybold's ownership, he was granted over 20 patents for Seybold Machine Co. He was also an integral part of the creation of the atomic bomb during the Dayton Project/Manhattan Project. Currently featured on Preservation Dayton’s "Most Endangered" list, this National Register-listed property (added in 1982) is seeking a visionary owner to rest ore its former glory. The architecture is a testament to late 19th-century craftsmanship, standing as a prominent fixture in one of the city’s most historic neighborhoods. This is a rare opportunity to lead a high-profile restoration project and preserve an architectural treasure for the next century. Bring your architect, your passion, and your tools to bring this Queen Anne beauty back to life. Updates include a new roof in 2022, new water service line in 2022, new electrical service in 2023, and a new gas service line in 2023. There are currently multiple holes in the floors on every level. Enter at your own risk. Please be cautious as you journey throughout this important time capsule of Dayton History. Property tax increases can potentially be abated for 15 years for renovating this home. Talk with the City of Dayton for additional details.
