Country Club Plaza - 1923
In March 1923, the country's first shopping mall was opened on the
outskirts of Kansas City. The Country Club Plaza was designed by
Edward Delk and built by J.C. Nichols.
Customers had to drive to get there, and it was the first to
have stores facing in toward a promenade, rather than facing out
toward a road. The mall had 150 stores, a 2,000 seat auditorium
and parking for 5,500 automobiles.
Today, the Country Club Plaza is still in business - now
joined by nearly 49,000 other shopping centers across the U.S.
