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 original RIVER ROADS CENTER encompassed around 620,000 leasable square feet and housed forty-two stores and services.

The mall had been built as a showcase for Stix Baer & Fuller, who anchored its west end. This was the retailer's second suburban branch. Its posh Pavilion Restaurant included a sunken outdoor garden. The mall's parking area had space for 3,100 autos.
