Historic Ad - Maplehurst
posted: Jan. 23, 2025

This ad for Maplehurst Golden Cow Stores ran in 1951. Maplehurst had an ice cream shop on the northwest corner of Broad Ripple Avenue and Guilford, what was then 6304 Guilford Avenue, now 854 Broad Ripple Avenue [H4 on map]. This is where Starbucks was recently.
Maplehurst had a smaller door inset into the main door. This smaller door was a special entrance for children. The store was gone when I was a child, so this door arrangement may not be accurate but it is what I have heard. Maybe a reader can let me know.
When I was young this location was Abigail's dress shop. I remember there always being a wedding dress in the corner display window.
