FAYETTE MALL brought together Cincinnati and Louisville department stores and included a 2-level Sears. In late 1971, the fully-enclosed complex covered approximately 775,800 leasable square feet and contained sixty-eight stores. The complex was barely one year old before the first of many expansions got underway. This project (in light gray) added a twin cinema, cafeteria and six tenant spaces, increasing the mall's size to approximately 850,000 square feet.
