The Centre City Building (formerly known as the United Brethren Building,) is an historic building at 36-44 South Main Street at the corner of East Fourth Street in downtown Dayton, Ohio. It was designed by Charles Herby and built in 1904 as the headquarters of the Church of the United Brethren in Christ Christian denomination. It was the tallest building in Dayton from 1904 until 1931. Its tower portion was completed in 1927, making it one of the tallest reinforced concrete buildings in the world at that time.

Its twenty-one stories housed the general offices of this church, and of the succeeding Evangelical United Brethren Church. It also served as headquarters to the United Brethren Publishing House.

This building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on December 10, 1993. The structure is also known as Centre City Building.[1]
