Author Bio
Like most Hoosiers, Kassie Ritman grew up admiring the mansions of Meridian Street. Annual trips downtown to view the world's largest Christmas tree at Monument Circle always included a drive along Meridian Street to spot Townsend's Santa's sleigh and other dazzling holiday displays. She rarely misses a chance to tour the St. Margaret's Hospital Guild Decorators' Show House when a Meridian Street home is featured and can often be found enjoying the hum of traffic and gentle babble of the Indiana Central Canal from her favorite bench in Alice Carter Park. Ritman collaborated with residents both past and present to bring this book into being.
