## Background (Wikipedia, CC BY-SA 4.0, shortened)

Chesterfield Mall was a shopping mall in Chesterfield, Missouri, at the intersection of Interstate 64/U.S. Routes 40-61 and Clarkson Road. The mall opened in 1976, built by Richard Jacobs. With the closing of Northwest Plaza in St. Ann in 2010, Chesterfield Mall became the largest shopping mall in the St. Louis metropolitan area. The entire mall closed permanently on August 31, 2024, for demolition and construction of a mixed-use development. It was demolished in 2025, with only the Dillard's and Macy's (Famous-Barr) buildings kept for future use.
