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!
Tallahassee's Northwood Mall


As a true blast from the past, we present the original trademark of the capital city's first shopping mall. The 10 million dollar complex had spaces for forty-nine stores and services.

A Publix supermarket predated NORTHWOOD MALL by 4 months. The store, which was built on the south end of the up-and-coming shopping hub, opened for business in May 1969.
