Een stukje geschiedenis
The mall was named after the Eaton's department store chain that once anchored it. Construction began in the 1970s after earlier plans were revised to preserve Old City Hall and the Church of the Holy Trinity. The first phase opened in 1977, and the south half opened in 1979. The complex was designed by Eberhard Zeidler and Bregman + Hamann Architects, modelled after the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II in Milan.
