The Art Deco Field Building on LaSalle Street emphasizes the strong, modern confidence of its design era - the late 1920's. Ironically, its opening closely followed the stock market crash in 1929, and the Field Building was the last major office skyscraper constructed in Chicago until the Prudential Tower in 1955! The Field Building bears a strong resemblance to other Art Deco towers in Chicago, including its neighbor 33 N. LaSalle (another Graham, Anderson, Probst and White design), the Board of Trade Building and the Palmolive Building.

Under Shedd's leadership Marshall Field & Co. continued the rebuilding of its store, fulfilling plans approved by Marshall Field to pull down the 1879 structure later in 1906. In its stead rose a new south State Street building, a continuation of the 1902 facade. Opened in September 1907 it included a Tiffany Ceiling that is both the first and largest ceiling ever built in favrile iridescent glass, containing over 1.6 million pieces.

Mrs. Hering’s Chicken Pot Pie, $10.50
tender white meat chicken in velouté sauce with peas and carrots topped with flaky puff pastry, served with a small Walnut Room salad and Toasted Sesame dressing. A long time tradition.
"The evolution of the Walnut Room on State Street in Chicago began when a member of our millinery department brought homemade pot pies for her clients so they would not go hungry while shopping. A few years later, her pies became the central offering of the tea room. Demand called for more space, and in the late 1890s the very first restaurant in a department store was opened. The Walnut Room, the grande dame of our seventh-floor restaurants, soon grew to 17,000 square feet, with Circassian wood imported from Russia and Austrian chandeliers contributing to its elegance and comfort." ~ Marshall Field's (Now Macy's) On State Street, Chicago
