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!
A third HILLSIDE remodeling was done in 1992, with the mall's official name being changed again. It would be known, henceforth, as WEST POINT CENTER. Menards Home Improvement also took over a vacant Goldblatt's / Zayre / Ames store.

By 1996, the 40-year-old WEST POINT CENTER was virtually vacant. It was knocked down in 1997, leaving Menards standing. A CarMax Superstore opened at the site in 1999.
