Elite Cafe. The first Elite cafe opened in downtown Waco in 1919 and was acquired by the Greek immigrant Colias family in 1920. The Colias brothers opened this Elite cafe in 1941 on "The Circle," a traffic hub built on Waco's suburban edge in the early 1930's. A highly recognized local landmark, and

one of the best remaining regional examples of mid-20th century roadside architecture, the building exhibits a distincitve Spanish Colonial style popular in the southwest. #1454
