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!

In 1992, CAPITAL MALL is essentially the same as in the 1980 plan. No additional square footage has been added...nor any taken away. The most visible difference is that the F & N store has been replaced by a Mervyn's. At this time, the complex houses over 100 stores and services.


Federated Stores' "Project Hyphen" rebannered the retail hub's The Bon Marche, as a Bon-Macy's, in 2003. "Project Star" completed the process in 2005, with the store becoming a full-fledged Macy's.

By 2007, the mall has become a Westfield property; this transaction occurring in November 1998. In the ensuing years, several changes were made. A Food Court was installed in reconstructed space in 2003 and Best Buy set up shop in a vacant Lamonts. A freestanding cluster center, THE PROMENADE AT WESTFIELD CAPITAL, opened in 2006. In 2007, an in-mall-Century megaplex was also dedicated.
