Waterfront Mall, Southwest, Washington, DC
This failed mall on the riverfront in Southwest appears to have been largely demolished for redevelopment.It was a total failure, but what was cool is that it was suspended in the 1960's, complete with its sole remaining tenant, a cheap restaurant with harvest orange dining benches.The Brutalist apartment blocks lining the area still survive.

ReplyDeleteThere are a lot; they surround the entire area and stretch down to the river.
