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!

An interior view of the West Wing. Back in the day, we would have been looking at a Montgomery Ward main entrance and nameplate. That store space became an Avanza supermarket in March 2002, which was shuttered in late 2006.

The CENTER began to decline in the late 1980s. By early 2006, it was virtually vacant. The shopping hub closed for good and was demolished in 2007-2008. A new WalMart SuperCenter opened on the site in January 2013.
