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!

By 1967, GOLF MILL CENTER has gone through several changes. The Mill Run Playhouse -a theatre-in-the-round- has been added to the North Mall. On the South Mall, Lord's has been shuttered and renovated. It re-opened as a "Penneys" in October 1966.


In a circa-'67 aerial view, the Penneys store is seen on the right. Sears, (upper left) was the venue's original anchor. It is situated at the center of the center and separated the North Mall and South Mall sections.
