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!
Greensboro's Four Seasons Mall


Stores in Greensboro's first mall-type shopping complex began opening in August 1974. The complex was officially dedicated in February 1975.

In a postcard pic, we see the original 2-level complex. At the time, Center Court had 3 levels. The exterior facade extended for 3 levels, as well. The inline store section of the third floor would not be completed until the late 1980s.
