An aerial view of ANTIOCH CENTER, from the late 1950s. As was the case with most early American malls, the structure was completed in phases over the course of several years. The initial stage of ANTIOCH CENTER was anchored by a W.T. Grant variety store, which is seen in the foreground of this image.

Our first ANTIOCH CENTER site plan, from late 1958, shows the 3 million dollar mall's first expansion in medium gray. The original 246,000 square foot structure now encompasses approximately 271,000. There are fifty stores and services under its roof, with a 1,500-car parking area.
