By the late 1980s, the VALLEY WEST Montgomery Ward has been reconfigured as one of the chain's Specialty Stores. In this image, we see the unit as it appeared before it was given an exterior face lift.

The original J.C. Penney (previously a Boston Store) is seen in this image. It, too, would be given an exterior face lift in 1988.

The mall's facade was also refurbished as part of the 1988-1989 redo. In this pre-renovation snapshot, some of the original sidewalks and exposed store service doors may be seen.

This image shows the circa-1976 Boston Store exterior. The building would receive a new portico entrance during the late '80s renovation.
