A long time local favorite lasting into the 1990s, Ceddy Sherer’s Sugar House was at the corner of Lake Tahoe Boulevard and LaSalle Street near Stateline. The coffe shop seen at the left in the photo above later became a steakery and until recently was Womack’s Texas-style Barbecue. Today it is Mayas Mexican Grill.

Now the building houses the Powder House’s main store. The current owners have opened a second Powder House store in the Chateau complex, one block away.
