Description
Tri-fold brochure advertising Hill-Top-Rest in South Worthington, 1190 Huntington Road (Rte 112). In 1945 Hill-Top Rest was bought by a Hungarian couple, John Sipos (1902-1976) and Anna (1896-1980), who promoted it as a refuge from city life. They offered a special haven to displaced persons following the horrors of World War II. Aside from croquet, badminton, and outdoor movies, their brochure promised “American Hungarian” fare, and Anna reportedly cooked a mean goulash. The property was sold in 1965 to Robert and Rolande Schrade. Originally the building was home to George Thrasher and his family where he ran a general store and the South Worthington post office. The ad, which was run in this same form for a decade or so, is from the Springfield Union, June 14, 1959.
