I never appreciated it until now, but the former Robinson’s / Macy’s store (now a U-Haul?) has a definite New Formalism aesthetic to it.
A detached Walmart replaced the former Broadway in 2016-2017
The former JCPenney (and before that, Dillard’s, Joske’s, and Rhodes) is now a self-storage. Note the symmetry of the building (the black glass is/was an elevator)
Another mall entrance
Sears (closed 2018)
From the north, the Sears was a box on top of a plinth
If you didn’t know already
This sticker was still on the door of the Sears
Now we go inside. You can see elements of the original architecture but also the postmodern nonsense they put on top of it
Another interior shot. This is the east-west corridor
Even the security guards are mailing it in
The Dillard’s clearance outlet is now only accessible from the outside, but the atrium still shows some of the original 1973 architecture
Short-term leases are available – act today, we’re gone tomorrow!
