Sanitary Diner
Indianapolis, IN
The Sanitary Diner is an O'Mahony diner (#1121) from 1937. It was installed in Cleveland, OH from 1942-1956 as part of the American Diners chain. After that, it was moved to Munster, PA. In 1995, the diner was sold to Diversified Diners where it was restored. It was installed here in 2010 where it serves lunches to employees of Angie's List. I don't believe it was open to the public. In 2024, there was a "For Lease" sign next to the diner. For more, see this website. [map]
