Aerial view of West Covina, looking northwest over the Eastland Center with its two anchor stores, W.T. Grant and May Co. Various commercial buildings and homes surround the shopping center Interstate 10 is seen on the lower left and the San Gabriel Mountains are faintly visible in the upper right. Photograph dated May 6, 1967. Eastland Center was designed by architect Albert C. Martin and opened in the fall of 1957 as an outdoor mall along the San Bernardino Freeway (10). The mall was unique at the time, as it had a regular mall on the upper level, and a strip center on the lower level facing the freeway. It opened with a 5-level May Company on the east end of the mall and a 2-level W.T. Grant on the west end. W.T. Grant closed in 1976 and was converted into shops on the upper level. The mall closed and expanded in 1979. Mervyns was added on to the west end of the mall in the 1980s. In the early 1990s May closed its Eastland Center location and the area stood empty for years.
