304 S. Laurel Street “Sweet Shop”
Another throwback Thursday history photo, this one depicts a small storefront that used to exist at 304 S. Laurel. People recall that it used be where Harry Witt’s barbershop was located and some suggest that it was a polling place in earlier days. In the 1970’s, it was the “Sweet Shop” owned by Mr. Moore where, among other things, breakfast was available. Unfortunately, the building was torn down about a decade ago and a small house built in its place.

There was also a story on this in the VCU Commonwealth Times way back in 1976. Click here for link to it.
