The footprint of the original -circa-'71- SOUTH DEKALB
MALL. Spanning 797,000 square feet and seventy-six
stores and services, the mall enjoyed a successful run
until being bested by MALL AT STONECREST, in 2001.
One of many classic mall and retro retail internet sites, the MALL HALL OF FAME is a "Mid-mod" mall museum, covering shopping centers of America's mid-20th century (1950-1979). There are short articles, a few photos, and at least one physical layout drawing for every mall inducted. Please feel free to post any additional info you may be aware of. Thanks much.

***When South Dekalb Mall opened in 1970 it was a VERY prestigious place to shop. Georgia Governor Jimmy Carter held several fundraising dinners and receptions in the Rich's restaurant on the 2nd floor of the store.
During luncheon hours female models would roam the restaurant wearing the latest Rich's fashions. I remember my Mom buying dresses on several occasions she had seen while having lunch there.
