Mount Prospect Historical Society marking 60th anniversary of Randhurst with T-shirt

The former Randhurst Mall would have marked its 60th anniversary this summer, and the Mount Prospect Historical Society is celebrating the occasion with a new T-shirt.

The shirt reads "All Under One Roof" and features several of Randhurst's iconic features, including its carousel and water tower. It comes in red, blue or green.

Randhurst opened on Aug. 16, 1962, but much of it was demolished in 2008 and 2009 as the indoor mall was redeveloped as Randhurst Village.

"The mall may no longer be 'all under one roof,' but memories of Randhurst remain sheltered in our hearts and memories," said Emily Dattilo, director of the Mount Prospect Historical Society. "Everyone here has a memory of Randhurst, from playing on the sculptures, to ordering lunch at The Picnic, to shopping for Back to School clothes and supplies."

All the shirts must be preordered, with a deadline of June 30. The shirt will sell for $28 for sizes S-XL and $30 for 2XL+.

"We hope to ship the shirts by the end of July, but supply shortages may extend delivery into August. We thank you for your understanding," said Amanda Marcus, the society's office manager.
