The Penney's Court, on the mall's north end, comes complete with a very '70s accessory; a triple sunburst fountain! Like other (actual) malls of the period, the color palette used for interior decor would have been based on dark brown hues, accented by gaudy oranges, reds and greens. At the time, these were called "earth tones."
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!
