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!
Although the original footprint of WOODVILLE MALL would never change, the shopping venue was given a face lift redo in the late 1980s. Its new Treats Food Court is shown in medium gray on this circa-1988 plan. The LaSalle's anchor store morphed into a Macy's in 1981 and the Elder-Beerman depicted here in 1985. An Anderson's store has just replaced a shuttered J.C. Penney.
