Remember Latham Circle Mall?

While Crossgates and Colonie Center eventually became the area's dominant shopping destinations, Latham Circle Mall had its own loyal following.

Unfortunately, changing shopping habits and the loss of major retailers took their toll. Caldor closed in 1999, and over time, more stores followed.

The mall eventually closed and was demolished in 2013, but the memories are still very much alive.

Take a Walk Down Memory Lane

The gallery below features photos taken inside Latham Circle Mall during its final days, shortly before demolition.

It's hard to believe it's been more than a decade since the mall disappeared!
