James Walter Edwards Jr. moved his family into this home on Albany Avenue, east of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad tracks, in 1940. After the Christmas holiday that year, Edwards planted the Christmas tree used in his living room, along with one used in a friend’s celebration. These transplanted trees dwarf the Edwards’ house in this 1960s photograph. The home was demolished in the mid-1970s as part of the urban renewal project.

Honoring Hattie Sandidge

Located in the western section of Lakeland, the Elks Home, seen here circa 1965, was owned and operated by the Improved Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, an organization created in 1899 in answer to the exclusion of African Americans from the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks. The group was a social and charitable fraternal organization. To raise funds, it hosted regular events that were open to those living in Lakeland and the surrounding communities. Most fondly remembered are the annual carnivals held on the grounds of the building, and the parades through the streets of Lakeland.

Several Lakeland homes were burned as training exercises before being demolished to make way for urban redevelopment. this image shows spectators gathered with refreshments to witness one of the burnings.

Located on the corner of Lakeland Road and Rhode Island Avenue. It was a neighbored store with lunch counter and a jukebox. The building included apartment units and at times a dry cleaners and hair stylist.

One of Lakeland’s larger houses is pictured above. Located on western Navahoe Street, it was purchased by Richard and Mary Walls in 1925 and used as a rooming house. Property records note this parcel as being a multi-living unit on multiple lots. This part of Lakeland between U.S. Route 1 and Rhode Island Avenue was the most densely populated area and was frequently challenged by flooding. In the early 1960s, community leaders sought help from their city government to solve the flooding problem and to help some residents renovate their homes to meet modern standards.

Note with the image reads " Looking west from 48th and Navahoe showing".
