Chevy Chase Arcade

The shopping arcade was a precursor to the mall. While these arcades had been popular in Paris for hundreds of years, the first one in the U.S. didn’t pop up until the Chevy Chase Arcade in 1925. The structure was built by Louis R. Moss who constructed it in the Classical Revival style. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2003 and still operates to this day.
