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!

The nucleus of what eventually morphed into Greater Cleveland's seventh-largest enclosed shopping mall. PARMATOWN CENTER, an open-air strip complex, was inaugurated in October of 1956. By the time of this snapshot, the original strip section had been renamed PARMATOWN PLAZA.
