Adele Abowd News Today

The landmark Carson City building that was Cafe at Adele’s at the corner of North Carson and John Street was demolished Wednesday.

After 40 years of business, the historic Café at Adele’s restaurant is up for sale. Owners Charlie and Karen Abowd are looking toward retirement and have put the restaurant and the real estate — an historic Comstock-era Mansard-roofed Victorian home built in 1864 — up for sale.

With the closing of Cafe at Adele’s, Carson City and its community will witness the end of an era. This decision by owners Chef Charlie and Karen Abowd, comes in the wake of a fire that occurred March 28, and the subsequent inability to negotiate a settlement with the insurance company that would cover reconstruction costs.

Eric Steven Abowd left this world all too early at the age of 39 on Tuesday, January 7, 2020. Eric was born March 28, 1980 in Seattle, Washington but moved to Carson City shortly after, where he spent all his growing-up years. Eric bled Nevada blue and white as a wrestler, running back and Captain for the Carson High Football program.
