After an 8-year delay, an expansion and refurbishment of WALT WHITMAN MALL...make that WALT WHITMAN SHOPS...got underway in early 2012. It included construction of the Main Entrance Streetscape shown here and added 102,000 leasable square feet to the mall's gross leasable area.

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!
