It is also presented as a locally significant, nearly unaltered example of Modern Movement architecture, blending Art Deco, Moderne and Googie influences.","narrative":"Built in 1954 at the northeast corner of East First and North Jefferson Streets in downtown Dayton, Antioch Temple is a two-story reinforced concrete building with a basement, constructed as the home of the local Shriners. Architect George T. Neuffer gave it a square plan, a flat roof and a symmetrical south facade clad in buff brick, red granite and limestone trim. Inside, rounded corners, chrome railings, atomic-style light fixtures and amoeba-shaped ceiling panels reflect Moderne and Googie influences. The first floor holds a lounge, dining rooms and offices, while the second floor has a large assembly room. The building was recognized for two reasons: its link to the Dayton Shriners, whose social and charitable work includes the Antioch Shrine Circus and hospital transport, and its value as a locally notable, largely unaltered example of mid-century Modern design. Changes have been limited mainly to replacement windows and some interior finishes, and the Shriners still use it.","period_of_significance":"1954-1962","architect_builder":"Neuffer, George Totten (Architect); Art Stock Contractors (Builder)","architectural_style":"Modern Movement / Art Deco, Moderne","criteria":["A","C"],"status_note":"Described as in excellent condition, nearly unaltered from its original state, and still in use by the Shriners.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:52:06.843362-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_OH/12001182.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/12001182/50d1d86864-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/12001182/50d1d86864-1600.webp","licence":"Public domain","author":"Nyttend","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Antioch_Temple_in_Dayton.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Nyttend</a>, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Antioch_Temple_in_Dayton.jpg"},"district":{"nrhp_refnum":"100004316","name":"Downtown Dayton Historic District","url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/districts/ohio/downtown-dayton-historic-district-100004316/"},"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71990563","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antioch_Temple","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q138610448"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/ohio/montgomery-county/antioch-temple-12001182/"}
