History
editIn 1925 the Huntington Arcade, originally called the Ritter Arcade, opened to the public as a shopping mall in the growing downtown of Huntington, West Virginia.[2]
In the 1980s downtown Huntington struggled with the competition of the newly constructed Huntington Mall, which resulted in the vacancy of most tenants within the Huntington Arcade.[3] Years later, developer Dennis Johnson purchased the arcade and invested $2.5 million into turning it into a condominium complex, which opened in 2014.[4]
