Coming December 2, 2019 
In 2008, a family in Dayton, Ohio was remodeling an original bathroom of their 1927 house. During the process, they unearthed a letter and two envelopes in near perfect condition dating back over 90 years.

The letter, from a man simply named "Will" is vague, secretive, and mysterious. The envelopes paint an even more confusing picture. 

Fifth and Ludlow tells the story of 1920s Dayton through the lens of the letter, and aims to expose the answers to the countless questions it raises.

Coming Soon: Fifth and Ludlow

A letter hidden beneath a bathtub was discovered almost a century later. Alongside it were two envelopes, one that went with the letter, and another one dated over a year later.

The letter is from a man simply named "Will" who didn't include his last name.

Over the years, the family who found the letter has speculated what it could have been about and whether the second envelope is somehow connected.
