A physical layout of the shiny new "Lenox Mall." At the time, the complex housed fifty-five stores and services and covered approximately 800,000 leasable square feet. Free parking was provided for 6,000 autos. The Market Level, beneath the Colonial grocery, included the Lenox Lanes bowling alley. The aforementioned movie theater would be installed on this level in 1963.
