By the mid-1970s, with two fully-enclosed malls in its midst, it was time for CAPITOL COURT to be roofed-in. This was done between March 1977 and August 1978. An updated logo was also commissioned.

A provisional layout of CAPITOL COURT, this following its 7 million dollar makeover. The center court and concourse have been given a "gardenlike" enclosure, existing stores expanded and new tenants added to the directory. A Food Court has also been installed. The mall now housed around 850,000 leasable square feet.
We now zoom through time to the year 1996. By the mid-'90s, the shopping hub has been in a downward spiral for several years. An unsuccessful face lift was done early in the decade, followed by the demolition of two anchor department stores (by then vacant). A little over 650,000 square feet of mall has been left standing...at least for the time being.
