Scope and content
Aerial photographs of the Villa Plaza Shopping Center and surrounding Lakewood neighborhoods were taken from a modest 2000 feet altitude on April 26, 1964. Low cloud coverage that day prevented higher elevations. Located between Gravelly Lake and Bridgeport Way in the heart of Lakewood, the large shopping center provided the convenience of one-stop shopping for its suburban clientele. The 4000-car parking lots ensured that customers did not have to hunt for parking space. View of Villa Plaza; Lost Lake on the left side of photograph. Park Lodge Elementary School, now demolished, is also on left bottom. East of Villa Plaza is the Lakeview neighborhood. Puyallup freeway is on very top. Photograph ordered by Puget Sound National Bank.
