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!

GALLERIA I, as it appeared in the 2010s. Its skating facility, now known as Polar Ice, is among the few shopping mall ice rinks still in existence in the United States. During the mid-century years, ice skating rinks were a popular shopping mall attraction.
