Lincoln Mall held its grand opening Aug. 9, 1973, and it was the far south suburbs’ first enclosed mall.
and now there is little evidence the mall ever existed with the exception of memories and old photos.Boswell said she came back to the area six years ago and hardly recognized what had been the location of memories growing up.Bacon said his mother worked at J.C. Penney soon after the mall opened, then took a break to raise Bacon and his brother and sister, then went back to work at Montgomery Ward.
Bacon said he learned as he got older what an economic engine the mall was for Matteson, providing funds for things such as public safety and street repairs. The Fire Department had a small fire vehicle in the early 1970s designed specifically to travel inside the mall to respond to a fire, he said. Wieboldt’s closed in 1987 and that anchor space remained empty until Sears opened in 1995 in the mall.
The closing of Carson’s didn’t slow plans to demolish the mall around it, with major portions cleared starting in 2017 followed by Carson’s stand-alone site in the fall of 2019. J.C. Penney moved to a free-standing store just east of the mall.
