The northeast corner of Liberty & Chemeketa was originally the site of the First Church of Christ Scientist, which was demolished in November, 1963. In 1979, most of the block was cleared for the construction of Salem's Nordstrom store and the Nordstrom Mall, which were open by 1980. The Nordstrom Mall was later renamed the Salem Center Mall.
