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 first renovation of BERKSHIRE MALL was completed in 1989. Nothing was added, but the Upper Level area at the center of the center was gutted and rebuilt as a 10-bay Food Court. At the time of this site plan, the center anchor, which had been converted to a Pomeroy's in 1976, was in the process of being rebranded as a Bon Ton branch. The Bon Ton banner would be installed in 1990.


The late 1980s refurbishment included an updated mall logo. By now, the theme of the center was "Capture The Feeling!!"
