Prelude to Xmas post: The Rainbow Center Mall and Winter Garden, Niagara Falls, New York state.

Picture 1, 2, 3, 6-10: The winter garden was designed by (Victor) Gruen Associates in 1978 and it was completed in 1980.

Picture 4, 5: The adjacent mall was added a little while later. In later years, the winter garden became too costly due to an insulation issue and was scaled down. Niagara Falls on the American side slowly degraded as well, pulling the quality of the mall down.
