Like many a mid-century mall, NORMANDY replaced a shuttered drive-in. The Normandy Outdoor Theatre, seen here, was in operation between April 1949 and March 1963.

The first operational NORMANDY MALL store was a freestanding Montgomery Ward, which had opened for business in 1964. A fully-enclosed mall and adjacent Convenience Center (in light gray) were completed in late 1970.
