There was a bus stop on the N. W. corner of Higham St. and Clinton Ave. It was also a barbershop, but I&#8217;m not sure they were there at the same time.<br \/>\nThe next store front advertised the Hotel plus a restaurant that served beer. That dated this photo after Prohibition which ended in 1933. This space was also a news stand in the 60s.<br \/>\nThe next store front was a barber shop, owner unknown, followed by the Western Auto store. The last store front was the City Bakery.<br \/>\nRumor has it that the Hotel bar is still stored in a building downtown having been taken out before the fire destroyed the Hotel in 1975.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Steel Hotel<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-27487","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-lookback"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stjindy.com\/archive1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27487","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stjindy.com\/archive1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stjindy.com\/archive1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stjindy.com\/archive1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stjindy.com\/archive1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=27487"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/stjindy.com\/archive1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27487\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stjindy.com\/archive1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=27487"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stjindy.com\/archive1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=27487"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stjindy.com\/archive1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=27487"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
