Highrise Tower Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 I've been researching this shopping center/retail center for a while. Thought I would create a dedicated thread for more exposure. Who was the developer? Who was the architect? Does anyone remember this shopping area on the corner of Holcolmbe & South Main? I bet someone on HAIF used to shop here. Would love to see some photos! This would have been active in the 1960s and was closed in the early 1970s.

Highrise Tower Posted October 14, 2023 Author Share Posted October 14, 2023 Found the retail center! The design shape could almost pass for a small motel. Cropped aerial photograph, 1960s: Google Earth, 1978: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
