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!

Between 1986 and 1991, the mall was given an extensive renovation. Two anchors were added and five parking structures built. Moreover, the basement level was gutted and reconfigured as an additional retail floor. This was also done at New Jersey's GARDEN STATE PLAZA (1989), Connecticut's CONNECTICUT POST MALL (1994) and Maryland's WESTFIELD WHEATON (2005).
