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 view of two core Peachtree Center office buildings, with their Promenade in the middle. The structure on the left, originally known as the Gas Light Tower (now the Peachtree Center North Tower), was completed in 1968. On the right is the Peachtree Center South Tower, whose first tenants moved in in 1970.

In a skyward vista we see what was originally the Peachtree Center Tower on the left, along with a small section of the Merchandise Mart. A skybridge connects the Mart with the Gas Light Tower (or North Tower) across the street.
