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!

Shoppers peruse merchandise on the upper level of the newly-opened Woolworth's.

In this vintage view, we see the back side of the shopping center and Camel Lot parking area. On the Lower Level, going left-to-right, are White Way dry cleaners and Edina Liquors. Store fronts visible on the Upper Level are the Fashion Beauty Salon and Roy H. Bjorkman and Jackson-Graves dress shops.
