| It
is believed that Bartow's Davis Bros. Motor Lodge was the
last of the chain. Sold on July 1, 2009 for $2.5 million to
to Mike and Ken Chauhan, the property was renamed Stay
Inn & Suites. |

in July 1973 by Frank Johnson and partners from Valdosta, Georgia,
the site featured a Davis Bros. Cafeteria, Cocktail Lounge,

Bartow's
Davis Bros. Cafeteria had been a well-known local institution
featuring all-you-can-eat shrimp boils. It was closed in July
1996 and converted into a Denny's. |

While
Davis Bros. Motor Lodges featured distinctive exterior design
elements evoking a modern 1970s style, guest room geography, features,
and furnishings were less reflective of the era and perhaps best
described as functional. |
