The Wright Brothers

 AP reports a 129 year old Dayton, Ohio building the brothers used for their bicycle work is going to be torn down because it is too deteriorated to save:

"While agreeing that most of the building should be demolished, the Dayton Landmarks Commission rejected the demolition request in September. The panel instead recommended that the city re-advertise the property and encourage its renovation in a way that preserves the historic facade.

The city appealed the landmarks commission's decision to the zoning appeals board, claiming it erred in its application of architectural design standards. The board voted 5 to 1 this week to reverse the commission's decision and gave the city permission to raze the property."

The brothers opened their first pilot school in Montgomery, though it was short lived. They determined the property was too windy.
