Photo 96-WFB-21

5161 Avenue H. This early strip center was located where the current shopping center (primary address 5101 Avenue H) sits. The current shopping center was originally anchored by a Randalls, then a Kroger, which space now sits empty. This modern complex was built in late 80's/early 90's.

The original buildings (as seen in 1985) sat about 75 feet from the road while the new complex was built about 850 feet from the road. The houses behind the old strip center appear to be employee or farm housing. My research so far hasn't uncovered any information regarding the purpose of those houses.
