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
