Notes

The 1960 map of Lacey shows Carpenter road still hugging the rail line, and this image shows the newly built Capital Pavilion (opened Jan 1968). 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). Finally, the South Sound Center can be seen in the distance, which was not built until 1966.
