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!

At the same time, the exterior of the mall was renovated, with new entrances built. These opened into five "Lanes," which connected to the Garden Mall shopping concourse. Each Lane was named, with examples being Redbud Lane, Community Lane, Birch Lane and Fountain Lane.
