Interior of Ghilarducci's Floral Shop, Lakewood. Cool room on right with floral arrangements inside, cash register and counter at the rear with shelves above and beside it with plants and planters. Known as "Gilly's," it was a small scale reproduction of the downtown Ghilarducci's California Florist store. Located next to the new Town & Country shop, Gilly's aim was to serve suburbanites. The 30 X 24 foot interior had one wall of cork, one of red brick and one of glass. It opened on November 5, 1951 and was managed by Margaret Moritz. (TNT 11-14-1951, C-6)
