Steeles Hill-Grafton Hill Historic District
Arrive at Steeles Hill-Grafton Hill Historic District. The late afternoon light is soft and warm, perfect for admiring the late 19th-century architecture before the crowds gather for sunset.
15:36
Walk six minutes to Wholly Grounds for a coffee or a light snack. The café is open until 17:00, so you have plenty of time to settle in and enjoy the organic fare before heading out.
16:55
Head west to Dayton View Park. It is only a sixteen-minute walk from your coffee spot. This small park offers a clear view toward the west, giving you a head start on the sunset position.
17:36
Watch the sunset. The sun sets toward the WSW at 17:36. The golden light begins at 16:55, so the sky will be painting the historic district in warm tones as you relax in the park.
