Review:

Westfield Montgomery or Montgomery Mall is a popular shopping center in Bethesda, Maryland. The mall opened in March 1968, and at the time had three anchor stores and 58 smaller shops. It was developed by The May Department Stores Company and Strouse, Greenberg & Co. as a joint venture. It was designed by John Graham, Jr. and Ward and Hall.

Infamous history: The Mall became "famous" as the place where longtime fugitive William Bradford Bishop bought a hammer and gas he used to kill and burn his family in March 1976.

The mall was expanded in mid-1970s adding 155,000-square-foot Woodward & Lothrop store and 40 more stores that occupied 60,000 square feet.

The last renovation in October 1991 included brass railings and glass elevator, which was later removed. All the fountains were removed to make space for more kiosks and seating.

The grand re-opening included a concert by Tony Bennett. The Boulevard Cafes food court is located on the second level. Anchor stores today include Macy's, Macy's Home, and Nordstrom.
