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!
Southern California's Riverside Plaza
Stores in Riverside County's original shopping mall opened between 1956 and 1958. In this vintage view, we see the "googie-style" sign that promoted RIVERSIDE PLAZA in its early years. Photo from Mitock & Sons
