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!
Buffalo's Eastern Hills Mall


Youngstown's Edward J. DeBartolo Corporation, developer of Greater Buffalo's original mega mall, recycled its provocative logo. The trademark had been used for Memphis' RALEIGH SPRINGS MALL. It would also promote St. Petersburg's TYRONE SQUARE.

Buffalo-based Hengerer's anchored the east side of EASTERN HILLS MALL with a 2-level (130,000 square foot) store. Among its many features were The Pewter Pitcher (an upscale restaurant) and The Pantry (a gourmet delicatessen).
