A circa-1958 physical layout depicts the newly-completed shopping complex. It was, in essence, a strip-type structure with a small open-air mallway in the middle. Adjacent to this section were an upper level suite of office spaces and subterranean bowling alley. The CENTRE, which housed around forty-six stores and services, was surrounded by a 2,500-car-capacity parking area.
