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!

Philadelphia's John Wanamaker opened their BERKSHIRE MALL store in August 1970, which was the chain's ninth branch. Encompassing 185,000 square feet, it featured The Dining Car Restaurant and Stationmaster Coffee Shop.
