Euclid Square Mall - Anchors

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.

The iconic 1970's Higbee's arches are gone, and I have to wonder what happened to the 2 gorgeous sculptures by Victor Pickett. Were they just scrapped? If so, what a waste.

Dillards Euclid Square Mall CLOSING September 2013

A long time coming, it seems Dillard's will be closing their Euclid Square Mall clearance center.

It's really a shame! It was pretty common knowledge the lease was up in 2013, but I'm still a little surprised they're closing this location. The prices were amazing and they appeared to do a steady business.

The Euclid Square mall Dillard's store opened as a Higbee's in 1977. The transformation to a Dillard's started in 1988 and was complete by 1992.

The other major anchor was long gone when Dillard's officially closed it's second floor in 2002.
