From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ralston Westlake (1907–1978), served as the 47th Mayor of Columbus, Ohio from 1960-1963.[1]
He served in the US Army during World War II, was a member of the Lutheran Church, the Freemasons and the Shriners.[2]
He was born on South Highland Avenue and lived on the Hilltop throughout his life. As an adult, he lived in a two story home located at 3300 West Broad Street where he also owned a small motel and glass business for many years. The property was later sold and the vacant land behind it was converted to self storage units and the motel units were converted to small offices.
