The Dunbar Historic District is a nationally recognized historic district on S Paul Laurence Dunbar Street in Dayton, Ohio. The district is famous for being the home of Paul Laurence Dunbar.
On June 30, 1980, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places
A larger area known as Wright-Dunbar (or Mound-Horace) is bounded roughly by
riots, urban renewal, and the construction of Interstate 75
. Later, through an effort by the city of Dayton and the county, many of the houses in the district were brought back to life again.
