The architecture and interior decor of the original CITADEL mall were a curious combination of '70s Brutalist and Pre-Columbian styles. In this image, we see the aquatic-themed Plaza Of The Waters, which included fountains, reflecting pools and outdoor seating.

J.C. Penney anchored the south end of THE CITADEL with one of their most unique stores. Its design echoed the Mayan and Aztec pyramids of Central and South America.
