Boston's Northshore Center

The second mall-type complex in Greater Boston was completed 7 years after SHOPPERS' WORLD. In this aerial view, we see Beantown's up-and-coming NORTHSHORE CENTER while it was under construction. The facility would be officially inaugurated in September 1958, when it would be heralded as the largest shopping complex in New England.

Filene's Northshore, which opened in September 1957, was the first operational tenant at the complex. Although the basic mall was designed by Seattle's John Graham, Junior, this particular store was envisaged by Raymond Loewy.
