Villa Plaza Shopping Center as seen overhead by plane. Aerial photographs of the Villa Plaza Shopping Center in Lakewood were taken on August 5, 1958. Noticeable is the large parking lot with room for 4000 cars. At this time the Villa Plaza had approximately 30 stores including Rhodes, Grants, Penney's, Foreman & Clark and Thriftway supermarket. There appears to still have been room for further expansion to the right of the photograph. The heavily wooded section to the photograph's left may not be there nearly 50 years later; it is probably all housing. Photograph ordered by Dolph Jones.
