About this postcard

A night view of Lakeland's civic center: a long, low building behind a reflecting pool edged by a balustrade, with tall floodlight pylons and city buildings glowing in the background under a moonlit, cloud-streaked sky. Lakeland, in Polk County, grew as a citrus-shipping center, and the landscaped civic center with its illuminated pool served as a municipal showpiece.
