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!

We now present a groovy photo album, showing what a shopping mall looked like 50 years ago. These snapshots of the NORTHWOOD MALL entry concourse and mallway were taken during the shopping center's grand opening celebration. Above is a glimpse into the Strickland's Northwood Mall Barber Shop.

The storefront of Stafford Jewelers. Most NORTHWOOD MALL stores were branches of local, Tallahassee-based chains. There were, however, a few national chain stores in the complex, such as Thom McAn Shoes and Orange Julius.
