Photos and artist's renderings of the mall from its earliest days show architecture that is both Hawaiian and Modernist at the same time, with some tiki thrown in as well.


:up: An artist's rendering of the entire shopping center. Towards the right you can see the Sears store, which is still one of the anchor stores today.


:up: A close-up of the old McInerny's Department store.


:up: A cool rendering of a tiki and Hawaiian petroglyph fountain.


:up: And an actual photo of possibly the same fountain (although there were three of them inside the mall)


:up: Another fountain in the outside courtyard that resembles a Hawaiian warrior in one of those gourd helmets.


:up: Where that giant fork and spoon set you found might have come from originally.

I'd be interested in seeing photos of more of the polynesian-themed stores in this mall as well as photos of the shopping center itself, so please post them.
