Central Atrium in Crosstown Concourse - Memphis (Sept 2018)

Crosstown Concourse in Memphis, Tennessee used to be a major warehouse, distribution center, and retail store that was operated by Sears Roebuck between 1927 and 1993. After Sears left, it sat empty for about two decades.

Thanks to an incredible effort by a variety of local interests, however, it has since been rescued and transformed into a thriving apartment-retail-and-service complex.

The renovation process was quite challenging. The Central Atrium – shown here – is not part of the original design. It was created by cutting out and removing the reinforced concrete floors from eight levels of the building.

For more on its history, see my image of the old main entrance and accompanying description.
