Shawen Acres, a Tudor Revival complex in Dayton, Ohio, was established as an orphans' home after Dr. Charles Shawen donated nineteen acres to Montgomery County on March 21, 1926, designated for "wayward and homeless children." The facility comprises a main building, an annex, a gymnasium, and ten English-style cottages arranged within a park-like setting. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991, the complex reflects early twentieth-century institutional design through its residential cottage system and period architectural vocabulary.
