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!
Clearwater's Sunshine Mall


The original logo of Clearwater's first shopping mall. The complex, which was dedicated in September 1968, was designed by Frank R. Mudano (1928-2007), a well-known Bay Area architect. He envisaged several of Tampa-St. Pete's original malls, including GATEWAY, SEMINOLE, CLEARWATER and COUNTRYSIDE.
