Scope and content
New ranch style home, with two car garage, in Lakewood, designed & built by H.A. Briggs. As the demand for housing, partially fueled by G.I. loans, grew, so did suburban flight. One of the areas to benefit greatly from this trend was the rapidly growing suburban community of Lakewood. From the families that bought & occupied these homes would come that broad base of population born in the fifties known as "Baby Boomers." Briggs Construction Co. was owned by H.A. Briggs, who lived at 523 Alta Vista Place in Fircrest.
