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!

Above and below we see more views of the 1950s mall. Here, we see the main shopping concourse, which is flanked by The Colony, Chandler's Shoes and Lerner Shops.
