This LLOYD CENTER layout shows how merchandise was delivered to stores throughout the original mall. Apparently, most freight was brought in on the second floor, or Mall Level. Three major stores (Meier & Frank, J.C. Penney and F.W. Woolworth) received shipments via docks on the first floor, or Multnomah Level.
