Indoor shopping concourse and fountain at Chapel Square Mall. An interior postcard presents Chapel Square as an inviting place to shop indoors. Compare the planned shopping environment with the older streets it replaced.
Evidence, credit & reuse: Catalog Date is 2010; this is not the scene's capture date. Catalog description calls mall completed in 1965, while Yale opening-event records date to April 1967. Do not use the postcard metadata to establish opening year. Original library record inspected; local asset exported from rendered record. CDN URL is signed and temporary. Photographic color postcard; retain undated status rather than using catalog 2010 as exposure date. Display copy optimized for the web with proportional resizing and compression. The linked repository identifies the original image. Reuse: public_domain: Item explicitly says Public Domain.
