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!

A cut-away view of the circa-'60 shopping center, going west-to-east, or from Wards to "Woodies." The mall was configured as an upper level of retail, with a service basement below. A small outward-facing section, known as the Plaza South Stores, was situated in the southeast corner of the complex. It was accessed from a Lower Level parking lot.
