In its original incarnation, (GREECE) TOWNE MALL spanned approximately 360,000 leasable square feet and housed forty-five stores and services under its roof. Two shopping concourses were laid out in a "T" shape. The north-south (Central Mall) corridor extended for 650 feet, while an east-west corridor (or Southern Mall) stretched for 450.

The "Wonderful WonderFall" at TOWNE MALL. These water-less fountains, which consisted of floor-to-ceiling nylon strands with descending drops of glycerine, were a popular enclosed mall feature in the mid-to-late 1960s. Due to their high-maintenance requirements, they quickly fell out of favor. None exist in the present day.
