Discovered by Heath Gross
a while back while he was seeking HoJo's remains around Louisville,
he wasn't quite sure to make of what he had found! Located on
Eastern Parkway near Shelby Road, this was the site of the first
Howard Johnson's in the Commonwealth of Kentucky. It likely opened
some time in 1952 or early 1953.
Based on the evidence
presented by both Phil and Heath, the store-front location served
as the Blue Boar cafeteria prior to being converted into a bakery
and liquor store. It is amazing that they both found the Orange
Roof and 1960s Trapezoid sign. What still remains a mystery is
whether or not what is pictured here is the original building
or not!
