At its official dedication, WHEATON PLAZA spanned approximately 1.1 million leasable square feet and contained seventy store spaces. There were parking provisions for 5,000 autos. We have created a provisional 1961 site plan, as no vintage store maps were available. We believe that stores indicated are in their correct places.
