Description
Established in 1931, the Highland Park Shopping Village represents a pivotal point in the evolution of the shopping center as a distinctive building type in 20th century American architecture. As defined by the real estate industry, the Village is a hybrid of the community and regional shopping centers. As such it houses a combination of grocery, drug, and related retail/service businesses typical of a community shopping center as well as department stores, restaurants, and a theater more typical of a regional shopping center. -- National Historic Landmark statement of significance, February 16, 2000
