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!

The original shopping concourse at SHV included a "Wonderfall" waterless fountain, which was likened to a "dazzling rainfall of liquid light." These simulated water features consisted of a circle of floor-to-ceiling nylon strings. Drops of glycerine dripped down the strands, creating a watery illusion.
