Shopping Center

Lakewood Stroll through Lakewood Shopping Center’s history

How did Lakewood, or any area, get going commercially? Where did the trolley cars run, and how has the shopping center evolved since those days? How have economic dips and booms affected building design and tenant mix? And how did the Abrams bypass change everything — for better and for worse?

These are just a few of the questions neighborhood resident and architect Sally Johnson will discuss during the Dallas Historical Society’s walking tour of the Lakewood Shopping Center on Tuesday, Oct. 6, 5:30-7 p.m. The tour, part of the society’s “Pour Yourself into History” series, will start during happy hour at the Cock & Bull, 6330 Gaston; Johnson hopes to wind up on the balcony of the Gingerman, which has a great view of both the old Lakewood library and the Lakewood Theater.

“So much of the character that was here, of course, is gone, but I am going to point out architectural detailing and show people what does still exist — because it does if you’re looking for it,” Johnson says.

The tour is free; drinks at the hosting establishments are the responsibility of tour-goers.

As the theater goes, so goes Lakewood Shopping Center

It’s our neighborhood’s watchtower, a lighthouse, the grande dame of the Lakewood Shopping Center. What happens to the Lakewood Theater is a bellwether for the surrounding shops and homes.

Its storied history as a suburban Dallas movie house began in 1938, and last month the Dallas Landmark Commission set the theater on a path toward becoming an official historic landmark. Preservationists exhaled sighs of relief as the owners braced themselves for the grueling process. “We won!” said someone wearing a “Save the Lakewood Theater” T-shirt.

What happened in early September, however, was more nuanced than one side standing victorious while the other waved the white flag in surrender. Instead, at the commission’s open hearing on the Lakewood Theater, both sides came to the table and agreed to prove themselves.

The owners pledged to make good on their assertion that “we are not here to harm the Lakewood Theater; we are here to save it,” as theater co-owner Craig Kinney put it to the commission. And historic preservationists assured the owners that “this could be an advantageous process for you as well,”
