Historical significance shapes Twin Towers, where this east Dayton neighborhood takes its name from the distinctive St. Mary and Emmanuel Catholic Church spires visible throughout the district. Housing options include modest worker cottages and small apartment buildings with genuine architectural character at remarkably accessible price points.
