Van Cleve Hotel was a 300 room, 12 stories building in downtown Dayton Ohio located at 31 W. 1st Street at the corner of First and Ludlow Streets. It was, open from March 1927 until December 1967 when it was acquired by a church, was closed and was then torn down in 1969 to become a parking lot for that church.
The hotel contained several famous restaurants; The Pine Room, The Mayfair Room, the Wagon Wheel Bar, several ballrooms (many famous bands and bandleaders worked here during the 1930s and 1940s) lots of receptions were held here it also had a barber shop. It made a place in history in October of 1948 when officials of the Boeing Company used a suite in the hotel to redesign the Air Forces B52 bomber during a 4-day meeting at the hotel, making it the birthplace of the Air Forces B52 bomber. (Dayton is also the birthplace of aviation and is home of the Wright brothers).
