AURORA VILLAGE MALL, circa-1980. Ernst Home Center, Pay 'n Save Drug and Lucky stores moved from the mall proper, into freestanding structures, in the late 1960s. Nordstrom opened, as a second mall anchor, in March 1974. The complex was expanded and fully-enclosed, as part of a 2-phase renovation, between the years 1979 and 1980.

Unfortunately, by the late 1980s, the mall was in a downward spiral. It was razed and replaced by the open-air AURORA VILLAGE CENTER in 1994. In a contemporary aerial plan of the facility, we see that just a single structure, a bank surrounded in blue, was left standing during the demalling.
