"John P & Sarah James Home"
This is a reproduction of the original artwork Wm Conrad Bowen painted with watercolors over pen and ink in his studio on a 21.5”x16” sheet of 140 Lb cold press watercolor paper.
Who could ever forget Annie (James) Obray if you ever knew her! She reigned supreme at the Paradise Store; at least, that’s what Conrad remembers! She was Wayne Obray’s dad and John, Bruce, Janie and Kathleen’s grandma! Conrad really didn’t connect her to the two-story red brick mansion kiddy-cornered across the street from the store until years later in life! In the store, she divvied out penny candy over the counter to wee kids, and poured coffee and flipped burgers from the grill to local farmers and ranchers seated on bar stools complaining about current events. Annie was very short and heavy set, but no one ever got anything over on her. She worked long hard hours, good thing all she had to do was cross the street to go home at the end of the day.
Annie’s house was built by her dad and mom in 1902, by the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s it probably wasn’t in too good of shape. At some point John Olson purchased the home and restored it to it’s granddeur. In December 1993 it was included in the National Register of historic places in Utah.
