About this place

What is Marshall Field Company Store?

The Marshall Field and Company Building is a department store building and National Historic Landmark on State Street in Chicago, Illinois, United States. It was designed in the Beaux-Arts and Commercial style by Daniel Burnham for Marshall Field; the north end was built in 1901–1902, and the south end in 1905–1906. It was the flagship store of the Marshall Field's department store chain until The May Department Stores Company was acquired by Federated Department Stores and converted the store to Macy's in 2006, and remains the Midwest Macy's flagship store. The building is located in the Chicago Loop area of the downtown central business district and it takes up the entire city block bounded clockwise from the west by North State Street, East Randolph Street, North Wabash Avenue, and East Washington Street. Field and partners founded their Chicago store in 1852, and first built an expansive shopping emporium on this site in 1868. The 1901 building was the fourth for the department store at this site.
