The Towne House

The Towne House might have been owned by Myrtle and Maude but Elizabeth was the star known throughout Haywood County for her cooking. Various white social and political groups held meetings at the Towne House regularly and other affluent community members came to enjoy the food. Elizabeth rarely got time off because Sundays were so busy for the restaurant. Elizabeth continued to work at the Towne House until the late sixties, when she moved to Chapel Hill. The Towne House shut its doors not long after Elizabeth's departure from Haywood County.
