General Note
The Sweet Shop is a restaurant and cafe just across from the south gate of Florida State University. Originally constructed in 1921 by Moses Demetree as a family home, the building was soon leased and converted in 1922 to business use by T. J. Hawes, who ran it as The Wisteria Tea Room for the ladies of FSCW. The business was taken over in 1924 by the Frain family who renamed the little restaurant The Sweet Shop.
