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!

Zooming up to the 1990s, we see a train set on the Dallas Area Rapid Transit. DART light rail extended service to the Park Lane station in January 1997. Although said station was not directly adjacent to NORTHPARK CENTER, the two are connected via the NorthPark Trolley shuttle bus...or -heaven forbid- a brisk walk.


Built on the site of an abandoned and demolished J.C. Penney, Houston's Foley's opened at NORTHPARK in October 2000. As one might surmise, the 250,000 square foot store now sports a Macy's nameplate.

In May 2004, construction commenced on a large-scale expansion of NORTHPARK CENTER. In a circa-2005 snapshot, we see the Foley's Court in the throes of construction. A second level of retail stores is being added.
