NORTHSHORE CENTER, 1978. The original open-air complex has joined the ranks of the fully-enclosed and climate-controlled. A large Sears has also been built on the north side of the mall, replacing the smaller, circa-1964 store.

The mall's second Sears welcomed first shoppers in February 1977. The store encompassed 240,200 square feet and was reputedly the largest Sears in New England.
