The nineteenth century in the United States was a time of tremendous social and political change. Cities expanded as industrialization swept the nation, only to be followed closely by moral, social, and political reforms. During this era, woman’s duty to embellish her family’s environment expanded into her role as a moral guardian, which was reinforced in religious sermons and popular literature.1 As the century progressed, industrialization divided the labor market, widening the gap between the social and domestic spheres of men and women.2 In response, many women of the growing middle class joined literary clubs, church groups, and sociopolitical organizations focused on domestic moralist issues such as child labor, healthcare, and helping Civil War soldiers. By midcentury, millions of women were members of organizations where they worked to redefine their roles and assert influence through domestic feminism.3 Impassioned about sociopolitical reforms, women of Ohio were among the first to kickstart women’s temperance and suffrage organizations. Following little to no precedent, women of Ohio petitioned, shared literature, spoke out, and

The history of arcades is one of perseverance, adaptation, and evolution. The existence of arcades is intrinsically linked to major socioeconomic shifts that have created new realities in the spheres of retail, consumerism, and marketing. As social and economic realities shift so, too, must the systems that accommodate them. Existing systems must change and evolve to avoid being rendered obsolete by new emerging systems that are better equipped to handle these socioeconomic shifts. The arcade was once a novel innovation of entrepreneurs seeking a way to capitalize on the emerging middle class and the consumer culture that was developing as a result. However, the socioeconomic shifts continued, and the arcade found itself in a much different position: it was now the existing system that needed to navigate the challenging endeavor of adapting to survive in the new commercial reality. Arcades find themselves in a similar position today. A new shift toward postindustrial capitalism has necessitated arcades to undergo significant transformations, in many instances leading them to a sharp departure from their historical roots. The Dayton Arcade is no different; it certainly played a major role in reshaping the retail experience and social identity of Daytonians when it first opened in 1904. For 50 years after its opening, the spatial and architectural features of the Dayton Arcade made it a central feature of life in the city. Toward the end of that period, the Arcade’s importance had begun to fade as social conditions surrounding commercial culture evolved, rendering the Arcade obsolete. This

The Dayton Arcade, like the rest of downtown Dayton, transformed into a dreamworld during Christmastime. Fantastic characters from tales of old marched down West Third Street, while the soft glow of lights, bright decorations, and the excitement of a reindeer pen at the courthouse led hundreds of Daytonians through a wonderland of Christmas cheer, and perhaps more importantly, Christmas presents. The Dayton Arcade remade itself during the holiday season, investing in print advertisements, decor, and ritual. Through this process, Arcade retailers created a hotbed for a new holiday commercial exchange that hinged on the parent-child gift-giving relationship. For many Daytonians, the parent-child relationship, reflected in the spatial and commercial holiday transformation of the Arcade, had already become an important element of childhood in America. The commercialization of Christmas stretches back to the nineteenth century. At that time, the rise of American middle-class culture fundamentally reshaped the holiday. Historian Stephen Nissenbaum argued in his history of Christmas, “Christmas itself had played a role in bringing about both the consumer revolution and the ‘domestic revolution’ that created the modern family.”1 After the 1850s, Christmas celebration was radically transformed by middle-class values. A key component involved the commercialization of the holiday. In affixing the gift-giving relationship to the parent and child, new Christmas traditions, rooted in fantasy and wonder,
