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!

One of our imaginary mall's anchor stores is a 2-level Elder-Beerman. On the opposite side of a 2-level Atrium area would have been a 2-level Shillito's. These stores would have been a merchandising marriage of two Dayton and Cincinnati-based department stores.
