Midland Mall Simulated Directories 

                                                   1969

Since I have not been able to find a directory of Midland Mall before 1991 (as Rhode Island Mall), I have been trying to come up with what would have been at least close to a directory of the mall in its early years  Using city directories, later mall directories, newspaper ads/stories and photos, I came up with at least a simulated directory of the inside of the mall during two of those years by unit number along with the names of the stores.  It does not take into consideration rest rooms/offices and the exact size of the stores. It is just to get an idea of what stores were there and about where they were located in the mall.
