problem
of
flight
, they
ran
a
newspaper
and a
bicycle
shop

the
fourth

Wright
Cycle
Company
in
Dayton
.
Wilbur
and
Orville
occupied
the
building
,
located
at
22
South
Williams
Street
, from the
spring
of
1895
to the
fall
of
1897

building
represents
the
first
time
the
Wrights
'
printing
and
bicycle
businesses
were
together
under
the
same
roof
. The
Wright
brothers
began
their
business
repairing
bicycles
in
1893
. By
1896
they were
manufacturing

the
first
to
fly
a
heavier-than-air
craft

December
17
,
1903

Wright
Cycle
Shop
is
the
center
of the
neighborhood

which
the
Wright
Brothers
lived
and
worked
, and
it

the
only
one
of the
Wright
brothers
'
bicycle
shops
that
remains
intact

original
location
