Here's a map of the shopping center:
As
Lwize posted, the building in question in
E_R's post was a restaurant, the Century House.

In the 1967 film "Caprice", Doris Day runs up the side steps to the shopping center...
...and sits down at an outside table in front of the Century House.
In "The Guide for the Married Man," directed by Gene Kelly, released within two weeks of "Caprice" in 1967, Walter Matthau and Robert Morse also have a conversation in front of this restaurant:
In 1972, some apes invaded the shopping center:
There was also a Clifton's Cafeteria in there.
