The Huffman

Located at 113 East 3rd Street in the heart of Dayton’s historic Fire Blocks District, Huffman Lofts is a cornerstone of the area’s revitalization. Originally built in 1916 and designed in the Chicago Commercial Style, the building pays tribute to Dayton’s renowned Huffman family, who played a pivotal role in the district’s development, once known as the “Huffman Blocks.” One of over 30 fireproof structures constructed in response to the Great Dayton Flood, Huffman Lofts stands as a testament to resilient architecture, crafted with materials designed to last for centuries. This landmark, now converted into 68 urban loft apartments, merges Dayton’s rich history with contemporary living. At 24,000 square feet of street-level space, Huffman Lofts has been transformed into a dynamic mix of retail, lifestyle, café, wellness, and restaurant venues. These offerings, along with the inspiring loft residences, will position Huffman Lofts as the cultural and economic core of the neighborhood, anchoring the Fire Blocks District with modern amenities and historic charm.
