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!

St. Louis' Stix, Baer & Fuller chain added a third anchor store to CRESTWOOD PLAZA in the mid-1960s. The Stix store was comprised of 4 levels and encompassed 252,000 square feet. It covered a 3-level parking deck.

In 1969, CRESTWOOD PLAZA is an air-conditioned shopping hub...well, partially, anyway. An Enclosed Mall (in dark gray) houses a climate-controlled shopping concourse. On the west end, the Vandervoort's store has just been bought -and rebranded- by Famous-Barr. With these improvements, the complex covers approximately 650,000 leasable square feet. Expanded parking facilities accommodate 5,400 autos.
