The builder and most noted resident of this grand residence, Isaac Pollack, was born in 1836 at Riedseltz, France. He immigrated to Greenville, Ohio as a young man, then moved to Dayton in 1854. Four years later he entered into a partnership to wholesale liquor and import wines, brandy, and liquors with his friend Solomon Rauh.…
The two men were so close that they constructed identical mansions on adjacent lots at 319 and 323 West Third Street in 1876. It is said they stood at the curb in front of the two completed houses and flipped a coin to select their residence. … Solomon Rauh died of heart failure in his house at the age of 79 in 1915. Isaac Pollack had moved in 1903 or 1904 and died of “paralysis” in 1908.
