Building behind the strip mall was the Lake Villa Rescue Squad. Building to the right of that was My grandfather's shop. T&H METAL ART. Grandpa welding shop in the back, and grandma had gift shop in front.

Yes! This is Lake St. Bob is correct, building on left was the Lake Villa Rescue Squad, now the Historical Society, then there's my Dad Hank Lundblad's welding shop, T&H Metal Art from 1955-about 1986. Currently it is LG Automotive. The two buildings to the right were the Township garages. My cars are actually in the front of the welding shop. My mom had a gift shop in the front area at that time.

Hello,
Thank you everyone for sharing the history of this area! Does anyone know if those building are still there? What their address were?

Please ee my previous comment of past and current businesses there. The center building behind strip mall was 219 lake street. And yes all of the buildings are still there.

Apparently now it is Lake AVENUE. Was Lake STREET then. Still have an invoice from the business with Lake Street on it.
