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 early 1990s layout of the complex, which has been known as BAYFAIR MALL since the late '70s. The shopping hub was fully-enclosed between 1978 and '79. Store space indicated in dark gray was added. A subsequent expansion (light gray), was built between 1988 and '89. It brought a new north concourse. With these improvements, BAYFAIR MALL covered approximately 850,000 leasable square feet and housed 119 stores.
