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!
Valley Fair / Westfield Valley Fair
A circa-1987 site plan depicting the recently-merged malls, now known as simply VALLEY FAIR. During the connecting-renovation project (indicated in light gray), most of the original VALLEY FAIR CENTER had been torn down. Only its Macy's remained. The old STEVENS CREEK PLAZA was retained, renovated and incorporated into the new complex. The expressway running by the mall had just been designated as Interstate 880.
