An early '60s view of the mall's Center Court. The sea horse statue seen here was one of several animal-themed works gracing the original center. There were stone depictions of a llama and sea turtle, as well as geometric slide sculptures.

The Barefoot Mailman gift shop was a mall tenant for many years. The name of the store was a homage to South Florida's "barefoot mailmen." Between 1885 and 1892, when no roads existed between Palm Beach and Miami, they delivered letters on foot, along a 68-mile route.
