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. This site includes historical sections about regional department stores, discount stores, 5 & 10 stores and supermarkets. 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!
A rendering of TURFLAND TOWN CENTER, which was proposed as a replacement for TURFLAND MALL. The mixed-use complex would have retained the Home Depot and main Dillard's buildings. Approximately 133,000 square feet of new retail, residential and data center space were to be built.

TURFLAND MALL was given a wrecking ball renovation in February 2014. Three store structures were left standing; Home Depot, Staples and McAlpin's / Dillard's. The University of Kentucky repurposed the latter as a medical and dental clinic.
