The center was given a comprehensive makeover during the 1980s. The first renovation (in dark gray) installed a Foland's catalog showroom and 18-bay Eaton Place Food Court in a vacant Federal space. This was completed in mid-1982. A mall-wide remodeling, in 1984-'85, added 100,000 square feet of selling space (in light gray) and enclosed the existing structure. Its name was changed to WONDERLAND MALL.
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!
