What Are We Doing?
Carillon Park has begun preservation and
re-interpretation of Dayton's oldest standing
structure, Newcom Tavern. Using replicated sash-
sawn white oak siding and hand wrought nails,
Carillon Park is now returning much of Newcom
Tavern to its late 18th/early 19th century appearance
while also protecting the log structure.
Built in to sections between 1796 and 1799,
Newcom Tavern was constructed as a permanent,
square hewn log home and tavern in Dayton. As
such, Newcom Tavern was originally furnished with
interior lath and plaster walls while face nailed
rough sawn siding was applied to the exterior.
Since its construction the structure has been
moved twice and has undergone at least five major
alterations and/or renovations. With age and each
intervention, more of the building's 18th century
materials have been lost forever. The greatest factor
in accelerating decades of decay resulted from the
1895 removal of the protective siding that guarded
the tavern for the first 99 years of its existence.
