| Plankinton Building The Plankinton building was originally built as a two story arcade of shops and was a forerunner of the modern shopping mall. The construction was reinforced concrete with an exterior of cream-colored glazed terra cotta. Inside, surrounding a 64-foot diameter rotunda was space for 68 stores. Skylights along the full length of the arcades provided plenty of light. An additional five floors for offices were added in 1925.
