Welcome to the largest mall and retail history site on the internet!


Four MHoF articles 
provide a glimpse of
our retail heritage.


First, we have a nineteen-photo spread 
taken inside the new John Wanamaker store
at Long Island's NORTH SHORE SHOPPING MART...
All from May 1951.



Next, we have a twenty-photo Halle's collection, 
taken at Greater Cleveland's WESTGATE CENTER.
This photo tour dates back to March 1954.



A twenty-three-photo spread has been added,
depicting the brand new Gimbels Westchester

These images are from September 1955.
