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!
A snapshot taken in the West Wing's "Octagonal Court." Lechters Housewares, a popular 1980s and '90s shopping mall store, may be seen on the right.

Another vintage view of the SHOPPINGTOWN MALL interior. If I am not mistaken, we are looking at the Upper Level of the South Wing.
