Big Town Mall (Mesquite, Texas)


This defunct mall was once the oldest indoor shopping mall in the southwest. It lost its final anchor store in 1997 when Montgomery Ward went bankrupt and became a derelict building. It is currently undergoing demolition that will be completed by September 2006.

The mall was used as a staging center for Hurricane Katrina refuges that were being relocated to the DFW Metroplex.
