Signage, which once stood along North Shadeland Avenue and US Route 40, beckoned mid-century shoppers into Indiana's first mall-type retail complex.
Indy-based H.P. Wasson & Company was the mall's primary anchor. The building housed the capital city's first suburban department store, which was dedicated in March 1957.
