Scope and content
These seventeen little girls were members of the Visitation Villa school orchestra in March of 1925. The budding musicians included those playing on triangles, drums, violin, cymbals and even a harp. The Catholic girls' school Visitation Villa for boarders and day students opened in the Lakewood area in 1923. The Sisters of the Visitation built the school on 200-acres of the former Charles Richardson Estate, "Richmore." Visitation Villa closed in 1954. The Villa Plaza Shopping Center (now Lakewood Mall) opened on the former school site in 1957. TPL-6373; G40.1-002
