Schuylkill Mall

A visit to the Schuylkill Mall, 11/8/14

 

I don't know what this was back in the day, but I have a feeling it was an actual retail institution.

 

Take notice on the right where the light hits the wall, notice how it looks like an outine? I think this was the original entrance of whatever operated here but after it closed it was boarded over and the store was abandoned. I'm also thinking that when the Railroad club opened, they took the storefront as is and that's why it resembles the other boarded over storefronts in the mall. Also, if you look through the window shown you can see a gate that is just as wide as this outline, further proving my theory.

 

I wish I could use notes to illustrate further what I'm talking about, but you know flickr..

 

*EDIT 3/3/15*

Found out that it was originally a store called "Prints 'n Things." I'm not sure if they were a chain or not.

 

*This is my very first attempt at documenting a shopping mall. Armed only with a 4th generation iPod Touch, the quality didn't turn out as well as I expected and the general framing and composition of the shots suffered in some areas. I hope to both get better equipment and sensibilities to continue doing this.*
