Town & Country Shopping Center construction


Fort Worth, Texas - 1958

Aerial photo of the Town & Country Shopping Center as it looked under construction in 1958. An interesting and raw look at the early stages of a shopping center's development (compare this with the finished, modern aerial view).

Can't find much background on this Town & Country Shopping Center, but it appears it's still around today. I've linked to a current aerial below, and do see some passing references to it being made on Google here and there. Don't see an official website or anything much in the way of solid historical info, so if anyone else out there is familiar with this shopping center I'd appreciate a few details. I'm mainly wondering what year it opened, and also, what its current retail health is like these days--assuming it still has some.

Mall Sign: Town & Country Shopping Center


Cheyenne, Wyoming

Nice retro design signage, dating back to around the fifties. This is a recent photo of the Town & Country Shopping Center's original vintage-era entrance sign. I haven't had a chance to research it yet, so I don't know whether or not this shopping center is still in operation today. I just liked the neat sign (courtesy of the swanktastic Roadside Architecture site).
