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!
Madison's Hilldale Center


Something to crow about! One of the first post-war shopping venues in Greater Madison was built by the University of Wisconsin. The 12 million dollar HILLDALE CENTER was formally dedicated in October 1962.
