Interior of Richards Camera Store and Portrait Studio, Villa Plaza. A look through the floor-to-ceiling glass windows showed the immense array of photographic equipment and supplies offered by the new Richards Camera and Portrait Studio located in the new Villa Plaza Shopping Center. This store would open on November 15, 1957, and was the second owned by the Paul Richards family. The first store was located in the 700 block of Pacific Avenue. Richards Studios were noted for their high quality services and supplied the Tacoma-area with major lines including Eastman, Leica and Bolex. (TNT 11-14-57, A-13-alt. photograph)
