Scope and content
Oakbrook housing development. A large sign on a tall slatted wood-and stone-fence greets visitors to the Oakbrook development of new homes in the summer of 1964. Oakbrook is a 923-acre tract in the Lakes District opened for development in 1964 by Chambers Creek, Inc. It is bounded on the south by Steilacoom Blvd., east by Phillips Rd. and north and south by Chambers Creek. Oakbrook will provide 2300 homes for about 10,000 people as it is developed over a ten year period. The land was purchased from the Hewitt Liquidation Trust for two million dollars in 1963. Photograph ordered by Oakbrook Realty. (TNT 1-8-64, B-2)
