Carson Pirie Scott - Lincoln Mall (Matteson, IL)

Camera: 600SE

Lens: Mamiya 127mm 4.7

Film: Ektar 100 (overexposed two stops)

 

Carson's developed Lincoln Mall under its Randhurst Corporation division for a 1973 opening. Incidentally, they would be the last store remaining at Lincoln Mall following its closure in 2015, and demolition two years later - the result of a botched remodeling attempt during the onset of the Great Recession.

 

With the rest of the mall already gone, a roof collapse in early-2018 shuttered this store premature to Bon-Ton's liquidation filing. Far as I know the roof was never repaired despite the property still having power, and the store entrances are now boarded up. Its future remains unknown.

 

I accidentally overexposed this roll a bit much, resulting in some color shift that I could not save.
