Center Court, in the circa-'69 part of the mall.
Photo from www.deadmalls.com



This photo, taken shortly before the mall's wrecking ball renovation
in 2004, shows the pristine state of its late '60s, "Mid-Mod" decor. In
a way, it was fortunate that the mall fell upon hard times so early in
its history, else all of these design features would surely have been
smeared over with gaudy-glitzy, '80s and '90s touches. If only the
structure -and all of its historic architecture- could have been left
standing for posterity...
