Later that summer, Joe Stahr opens his tavern and buffet restaurant just two blocks south of the Circle on Illinois Street. St. Elmo opens for breakfast during the war years to serve the huge numbers of soldiers and sailors passing through Union Station. Harry Roth and Izzy Rosen purchase the Braden Building, home to St. Elmo Steak House for 68 years. The neighboring Army Navy Surplus store was then converted into what is now the Tiffany Dining Room. Roth’s and Rosen’s bet on the future of downtown Indianapolis two years before is justified when the Indiana Convention Center opens at South Capitol and Maryland Streets, just around the corner from St. Elmo Steak House. Over the years Lorenzo becomes the embodiment of professional service and he is currently the longest tenured employee with over 35 years of service. Here is a photo of his locker that displays his start date in the basement of St. Elmo. Representatives of the Capital Improvement Board and Robert Irsay cement the deal to build the Hoosier Dome and bring the Baltimore Colts to Indianapolis over shrimp cocktail and steaks at St. Elmo Steak House. Veteran restaurateur, Steve Huse has a vision and purchases the Braden building and the St. Elmo business from Harry Roth & Izzy Rosen. Steve Huse passes the torch of leadership to his son, Craig Huse, who takes over day-to-day operations. In 2007 Peyton became one the partners of St. Elmo’s sister restaurant Harry & Izzy’s. The first Harry & Izzy’s opens on the same block as its sister restaurant, St. Elmo Steak House. The RCA Dome closes and is demolished due to the opening of Lucas Oil Stadium, the new home of the Indianapolis Colts. St. Elmo Steak House runs out of space to expand horizontally and renovates the second floor above St. Elmo, calling the space the 1933 Lounge. Harry & Izzy’s expands on its’ continued success and opens its third location on the North side of Indianapolis. It is the oldest Indianapolis steakhouse in its original location, and has earned a national reputation for its excellent steaks, seafood, chops and professional service. Starting out with a beautiful tiger-oak back-bar purchased in Chicago, the restaurant was simply a small tavern with a basic menu. Through the years, its classic turn-of-the-century Chicago saloon decor has changed very little, beyond the inevitable expansions. From 1947 to 1986, the colorful odd-couple team of Harry Roth and Isadore Rosen skillfully guided St. Elmo to continued success before turning over the reins to veteran restauranteur Stephen Huse, the present owner. In 1997, Steve partnered with his son, Craig, who is the current operator. Through much of its history, St. Elmo was considered a dining bastion for men. It was, and still is, a place where salesmen and tycoons came to seal the deal, where attorneys and politicians strategized and plotted, where coaches and players celebrated wins and lamented losses, where celebrities came to unwind from a show. Huse decided to give St. Elmo a multi-million dollar makeover, providing a more customer-friendly and comfortable environment without undercutting the charm of its turn-of-the-century roots. This entailed building a large, open kitchen viewable to guests in the bar, creating more usable space in the bar and foyer, adding two additional private dining rooms and designing an award-winning wine cellar with several thousand bottles. Additional expansion has since provided three more private dining room options to accommodate large parties. Today’s St. Elmo Steak House honors its past by maintaining its traditional atmosphere, professional service and outstanding refined menu.
