"Ralph’s was built in 1929 from a pre-fabricated kit purchased from the Sears & Roebuck catalog. It sits at the intersection of what were at the time two unpaved roads, 4th Ave. and 19th St, in Armory Park. But it was only in business for about 8 years before the economic hard times of the Great Depression took their toll and put Ralph’s out of business. Although it there does not appear to be any active business occupying the site, to this day someone is still taking good care of Ralph’s."
