Swifton Center, Cincinnati

Swifton Center was a shopping mall in Cincinnati, Ohio, United States. Opened in 1956 as the first mall in the Cincinnati area, it was initially an open-air complex featuring Rollman & Sons department store as the sole anchor store. This store was converted to Mabley & Carew in 1960, and again to Elder-Beerman in 1978. The mall had undergone a severe decline in tenancy by the early 1980s, and was renovated in 1985 by the Edward J. DeBartolo corporation as Swifton Commons. Despite initial success, the renovated mall underwent another severe decline in tenancy by the mid-1990s. Allen Temple AME Church bought the mall and renamed it to Jordan Crossing, replacing many of the inline tenants with offices. By 2013, the mall was demolished except for offices in the former location of Elder-Beerman. ()
