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!

Another vintage view of the South Court, taken from a different vantage point...and also in full color. Here we see the Horne's mallway entrance and some of the lush, tropical landscaping that became a trademark of enclosed malls built by the James W. Rouse Company in the 1960s.
