Welcome to the largest mall and retail history site on the internet. The MALL HALL OF FAME is a vintage shopping mall scrapbook. Its focus is on shopping complexes built -in the USA- between 1946 and 1979. Don't forget to visit our four Shopping Mall Memory Lanes, which transport you through time to a mall in 1956, 1963, 1970 and 1977!

Houston's Levcor acquired the mall in 2007. They proposed a face lift-type renovation. It would take several years for a redevelopment to get underway. In the meantime, a couple of names were floated around. In a 2008 prospectus, the refurbished mall was to be known as SHOPS AT EL CENTRO (seen above). Eventually, Levcor decided to raze the facility and build an open-air power plaza.
