Carson's Photos
Carson Pirie Scott & Co., one of the three original
owners in the Lakehurst venture, featured a 226,000
square-foot, three-level department store with
entrances on the mall's north, west, and south sides.
The longest habitant of Lakehurst Mall, Carson's
remained open for business when the mall shuttered in
2001, finally closing only days before the mall's
demolition began in early January 2004.

The design of the Lakehurst Carson's store was considered a radical departure from that of its
predecessors. Its striped exterior featured alternating ribbons of cream and salmon, highlighted with red
accents and script logos. Shown here are the logo on the west wall of the building (left), and the south
side entrance (right).

High above the escalators shone the hallmark of Carson's interior. Concentric circles of exposed
bulbs formed a contemporary lighting treatment that would dazzle shoppers for three decades.
