Random Historic Photo - Ox Roast - The Good Old Days?!?
posted: Aug. 13, 2026

Random Historic Photo header

This issue's Random Historic Photo is from 1958, and is an odd one from the family photo albums. In 1958 the Broad Ripple Businessman's Association sponsored a free Ox Roast in the space between (back then) Wm. H. Block and Vonnegut's Hardware on Broad Ripple Avenue. Today that would be between Huntington Bank and MyEyeDr.
The article says the the Mayor of Indianapolis would be there, Phil Bayt.
