In 1947, Stahr sold the business to local tavern operator Burt Condon. Condon&amp;#039;s ownership was brief, selling the restaurant six months later to brothers Harry, Sam, and Ike Roth in 1948.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Markisohn&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 1956, Sam and Ike Roth left the business to their brother, Harry, and new partner, Isadore &amp;quot;Izzy&amp;quot; Rosen. Roth and Rosen co-owned the establishment until 1986 when St. Elmo was sold to local entrepreneurs Stephen &amp;quot;Steve&amp;quot; Huse (founder of [[Noble Roman&amp;#039;s]]) and Jeff Dunaway for [[US$]]2.5 million.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;King&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite news |last=King |first=Mason |title=INSIDE DISH: St. Elmo stakes out expansion plan |url=https://www.ibj.com/articles/26183-inside-dish-st-elmo-stakes-out-expansion-plan |access-date=July 16, 2022 |work=Indianapolis Business Journal |date=March 25, 2011}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Steve Huse&amp;#039;s son, Craig Huse, joined as a minority-owner in 1997 and operates the restaurant.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Olson&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite news |last=Olson |first=Scott |title=Historic St. Elmo building&amp;#039;s exterior undergoing lengthy repairs |url=https://www.ibj.com/property-lines-scott-olson/58572-historic-st-elmo-buildings-exterior-undergoing-lengthy-repairs |access-date=July 16, 2022 |work=Indianapolis Business Journal |date=May 12, 2016}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; In 1998, Dunaway sold his 49-percent stake in ownership.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;King&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

A US$2 million renovation in 1997 refreshed the wine cellar, kitchen, and two dining rooms.
