Nothing characterized a closed-air mall more than the traditional bookend anchors. Euclid Square Mall opened with 2 anchors in 1977: Higbee's and May Co.
Formerly the Dead Euclid blog, Euclid Evolution aims to show what Euclid once was in pictures and words, and how Euclid is today. Our focus is on history and architecture. Our goal is to photograph the changing face of the retail and restaurant industry in our Cleveland suburb, because we think that kind of thing is fascinating.
