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!

Higbee's opened a PARMATOWN location in August 1967 and would operate in the mall for 25 years.

This section of the shopping complex had been built as an open-air concourse in 1959-1960. At the time of this April 1968 photo, it had just been roofed-in.
