The mall's position as purveyor of fine art and haute couture is
accented by its reverence for history. Other malls renovate; regularly ripping
out historic architecture and replacing it with the latest style du jour.
Not at NORTHPARK. The design aesthetic used in the '60s has been
repeated with every expansion. On its 60th anniversary, the center was being promoted with a classic, circa-1965 graphic.

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. This site includes historical sections about regional department stores, discount stores, 5 & 10 stores and supermarkets. 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!
