The Mall at 163rd Street

The mall's anchors are The Home Depot, Marshalls, GameStop, Foot Locker, Ross, and Wal-Mart Supercenter.

The mall opened on November 1, 1956, as The 163rd Street Shopping Center, anchored by a Raymond Loewy-designed Burdines and later, Richard's.

In addition, it sported forty-nine outlets, including Food Fair (later Pantry Pride), JCPenney, M and M Cafeteria, Walgreens, and Woolworth.

Until the late 1970s, the center court fronting Burdines had provided countless kiddie rides, which were all encircled by a train track.

Colossal metal arches were flanked over the main plaza that the stores resided along, and a white, translucent, Teflon-coated fiberglass was placed over them.

The conversion of the mall into a power center began in 1996, when the movie theater outparcel was demolished to make way for The Home Depot.
