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

Rock Hill Mall was an enclosed regional shopping mall located in Rock Hill, South Carolina. It opened in 1968. Most tenants, including all of its retail anchors, left the mall when the newer Rock Hill Galleria opened nearby in 1991. After the closure of the vast majority of the mall in the 1990s, nearly all of it sat vacant and decaying for almost a decade as a dead mall, until it was finally demolished in late 2006.
