George Cram built this one story plaster Spanish Colonial
Revival home for his nephew, Donald Cram in 1932-1933. Donald was killed in 1946 and his
widow, Marva Whipple Cram sold the home to Merle (Peaches) Beard and his wife
Donna Young. Peaches, who learned
to cook in his sister’s café in Texas, worked at the Ideal Café before purchasing
the City Café. Merle and Donna
owned the Trail’s End Café (now Houstons’) for 36 years. Present owners are the Beard
family.
