Lakewood Images

Additional aerial photographs of the Lakewood area surrounding the Villa Plaza Shopping Center were taken by the Richards Studio for a sample book on August 5, 1958. Lakewood was a fast growing community in the 1950's and the developers of the Villa Plaza filled a niche for a large one-stop shopping center. There was plenty of parking available, enough for 4000 cars, and apparently room for further expansion of the center. Aerial photographs of that time showed that there were neatly laid out streets with many trees. Lots were probably larger and less expensive than those in the city. The remodeled Lakewood Center, a smaller shopping center that was Lakewood's first, is almost directly in the center of the picture above the Villa Plaza.
