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 mall's freestanding movie house, officially known as the Towne Theatre, opened in June 1954. On the marquee was "River of No Return," starring Marilyn Monroe and Robert Mitchum.

The SHOP-A-RAMA Food Fair was also housed in one of the western store blocks. The grocery was rebranded as a Pantry Pride in 1970.
