Donald Cram - "Peaches" Beard Home


144 West 300 North Street

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.
