Entrance to the new Four Fountains apartment complex and parking lot near Lakewood's Thunderbird Shopping Center was photographed on October 5, 1963. The contemporary styled multi-level complex was constructed primarily of wood with small trees and shrubs planted on the sides of the bleached redwood exteriors. The 37-unit luxury complex was built for approximately $650,000 by H.A. Briggs and owned by Fairway Investments. The symbol of the Four Fountains was the fleur-de-lis and that design was prominently displayed throughout the complex, including the creation of a fleur-de-lis shaped swimming pool. Covered parking was provided for each resident along with additional parking lot space. Photograph ordered by H.A. Briggs. (TNT 7-21-63, B-4, TNT 10-13-63, B-6)

An eye-catching swimming pool area is a highlight of the luxurious new Four Fountains apartment complex in an October 5, 1963, photograph. Bordered by natural rock, the enormous sunken courtyard contains a 42' wide, heated swimming pool in the shape of the complex's symbol, a fleur-de-lis. The pool was wired for underwater hi-fi music. Plenty of lounge chairs and beach tables provide a welcoming sight to apartment residents. A recreation building and a party room are located nearby. The Four Fountains would host an open house on October 13, 1963, so that potential renters could view the all-electric units, each containing fireplaces, wall-to-wall carpeting, slate entryways and patios/lanais.
