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!
Boston's Shoppers' World
This sign, which stood along Worcester Road, commemorated the October 1951 grand opening of America's second suburban shopping mall (the first, Seattle's NORTHGATE CENTER, had opened for business in April 1950).
