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!
Boulder's Crossroads Center


Who came first? Greater Denver's LAKESIDE CENTER opened in September 1956. In its original state, the complex consisted of an open-air center court, with two enclosed (and climate-controlled) wings. The Centennial State's first fully-enclosed shopping complex, CROSSROADS CENTER, debuted in March 1963.
