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!

"Another Capital Idea." CAPITAL MALL started out -in 1978- with two anchors; The Bon Marche and J.C. Penney. Frederick & Nelson and Lamonts (dark gray) joined the fold in 1980. With their completion, the shopping hub covered approximately 545,300 leasable square feet, with free parking for 3,300 autos.
