The interior of the original CUMBERLAND MALL was a showcase of '70s Mod decor. The Center Court was especially noteworthy. In addition to a small lake, fountains, bridges and tropical plants, it included the "People Pavilion." This circular platform, suspended high above the court area, was accessed by an open elevator. There was seating for fifty shoppers.

In 1973, the shiny new CUMBERLAND MALL covered approximately 1,135,000 square feet. Its size surpassed that of Dekalb County's 1 million square foot NORTHLAKE MALL, which had been the region's largest shopping center.
