O’Hara’s Beverage Spot Sleigh – Dec. 1960

Here’s a nice little article circa December 1960 about well-known Lorain business O’Hara’s Beverage Spot and its unique Christmas decoration: an 150-year-old sleigh.

The article ran in the Lorain Journal back on December 26, 1960.

What’s interesting is that even though it is shown on the roof of the building, the antique sleigh was going to be pressed into service once the owner was able to buy a pony.

Back in 2017, I interviewed Ralph O’Hara about his family’s longtime Lorain beverage store, which you can read here. Since then, Ralph and his wife have sold the business and hopefully are enjoying retirement.
