At its height, White Flint Mall was a sprawling 874,000-square-foot shopping hub housing upscale department stores, such as Bloomingdales. I. Magnin and Lord & Taylor.
The shopping mall opened in 1977. "There were dazzling glass elevators and a strip made to look like an Italian streetscape," according to the Washington Post.
There was also a section of the mall made to look like the streets of Georgetown, an upscale neighborhood in Washington, D.C.
The parking lots are now eerily empty. Only two tenants remain in operation.
The mall's movie theatre even shut down.
White Flint's owner plans to redevelop the property into a mix of residential buildings, offices and outdoor shopping.
Lord & Taylor tried to delay the mall's closing by filing a lawsuit against its owners, but the company was unsuccessful.
More than three quarters of the mall's stores had closed by last Christmas.
Soon, the entire mall will be demolished.
