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 a circa-2008 layout, the VILLAGE AT DAYTON MALL is shown in light gray. Its construction included new (freestanding) P.F. Chang's China Bistro and Jared The Galleria of Jewelry stores. The mall, excluding its outparcel VILLAGE, now spanned approximately 1,352,600 leasable square feet.
