Notes

The 1960 map of Lacey shows Carpenter road still hugging the rail line. The 1970 Lacey map shows Carpenter with the curve as pictured and indicates the placement of the Homann Industrial Park (not yet built in this image). It's hard to be sure, but it appears as though the Russell House is being used as City Hall, which would further corroborate the date of c.1969.
