Vintage Lego Builds

Rebuilding forgotten Lego that were missing instructions

Lego System Mall & Theater (from set 236)

This image is the box art for LEGO set 236, “Garage and Van,” originally released in 1956 and re-released in the early 1960s as part of the LEGO System Town Plan series.

In a precedent post, we have built the apartments tower. Now we build the big building on the right that looks like a mall & thater combined in one. It is a bit hard to figure out what is written on the bricks between the ground & first floor, so I designed my own custom ones on top of the regular Theater, Post and Hotel ones.
