Our third -and final- SHOPPERS' WORLD plan dates to 1974. The north end of the complex has been sealed-off with the addition of a Jordan Marsh Basement Store and enclosed atrium area (in medium gray). This new Jordan's was completed in 1967. The final addition ever done at the mall, a second enlargement of the cinema, is shown in light gray.

A parting view of the SHOPPERS' WORLD courtyard, which is decorated for one of the mall's final yuletide seasons. On the left, we see the cupola atop the Santa Kiosk. In the distance is the 20-foot-high "General," who commanded a battalion of twenty-four wooden soldiers. These had been crafted by Hal Purrington, a mall maintenance worker, in 1975.
