Eastland Mall, from Gimbels to an Amazon warehouse
1963
North Versailles, Pennsylvania
Gimbels built this centre on a hilltop over the Monongahela and opened it in August 1963 as Eastland Shopping Plaza, at a cost of about $12 million. It was roofed over and renamed a mall in 1973, with JCPenney and Sears alongside Gimbels. Gimbels closed in 1986 and the other anchors followed, the mall shut for good in February 2005 and came down in 2007. An Amazon distribution centre opened on the site in 2023.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
