About Burton Cafe
The Burton Cafe was built in 1937 by Edward Whitener and Quintus Zwernemann in downtown Burton, Texas. For generations it functioned as a cafe and social center for the community, also operating at one point as a liquor store. Its modest false-front facade typified the small commercial buildings anchoring rural Texas town centers in the early twentieth century.
