"To immortalize outstanding American merchants", Joseph Kennedy in 1953 commissioned eight bronze busts, four times life size, which would come to be known as the Merchandise Mart Hall of Fame: retail magnates Frank Winfield Woolworth, Marshall Field and Aaron Montgomery Ward,Julius Rosenwald and Robert Elkington Wood of Sears, Roebuck and Company fame advertiser John Wanamaker, merchandiser Edward Albert Filene, and A&P grocery chain founder George Huntington Hartford. All of the busts rest on white pedestals lining the Chicago River and face north toward the gold front door of the building.

Inside the old Marshall Field's building, now occupied by Macy's, you find this beautiful work of art. The glass mosaic dome was designed by Louis C. Tiffany, built by a group of 50 craftsmen that took 18 months completing work in 1907. It is both the first dome to be built in favrile iridescent glass "Favrile" means handmade and the "iridescent effect" was obtained by mixing different colors of glass while hot. "Favrile iridescent glass" is a type of art glass patented in 1894 by Louis Comfort Tiffany. It contains over 1.6 million pieces making it the largest glass mosaic of it's kind.
The mosaic is located near the Washington entrance near the escalators. If you want a closeup look go to the fifth floor in the lingerie department. If you enjoy the work of Tiffany and or art glass there are two more examples within a block's walk. There is an amazing collection of stained glass panels, including some designed by Tiffany in the underground pedway just outside Macy's basement on the north end of the store. Right near InFields bar and grill. Where they have $5 drink specials everyday. youtu.be/AP1qp85U2qA
Then if you go a half block east of Macy's you'll find the Cultural Center. Where you will find another Tiffany masterpiece the world's largest stained glass dome. youtu.be/FKikzrrGUiI
