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. This site includes historical sections about regional department stores, discount stores, 5 & 10 stores and supermarkets. 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!
Houston's Meyerland Plaza
The Bayou City's third shopping mall was dedicated with a "gala, colorful international-style festival" in late 1957. The Around The Shopping World In 80 Acres celebration was a homage to the Todd-AO spectacular "Around the World In 80 Days," which was the Academy Award-winning Best Picture of 1956.
