Scope and content
Exterior view of Lakewood Community Center just prior to its grand re-opening in November, 1951. An extensive addition to the center added 34,000 square feet to the original 25,000 square foot structure. Parking was expanded to accomodate 650 cars. Over twenty stores and businesses would provide goods and services to suburban dwellers in a one-stop shopping concept. The original Lakewood Center was opened in July 1937 under the guidance and ownership of Norton Clapp and his Lakewood Development Company. (TNT 11-14-51, C-19)
