The original footprint of EASTLAND CENTER, which was Greater Columbus' first fully-enclosed shopping hub. At the time of this 1968 plan, the 950,000 square foot structure housed sixty-nine stores and services. Its parking area could accommodate 5,000 autos at one time.

A vintage view of the EASTLAND Center Court and mallway entrance of the Penneys anchor store. A water-less "Wonderfall" fountain is seen in the distance. In a contemporary newspaper write-up, it was described as "an illusion created by a million droplets on 1,800 Nylon strands."
