Opened in 1955 in the Park Forest Plaza. This was the first Marshall Field's to open in a shopping mall. Park Forest was the first fully-planned post World-War II suburb in the nation. Store closed in 1997 and sat vacant until 2010 when it was finally razed.
The upper right corner wall was completely demolished in a time frame of about 25 minutes.
Under John 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.
We have a video of this mosaic posted on ChiTownView.
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

In 1987, while under BATUS ownership, Field's State Street store underwent significant restoration. In 2004, while Field's was still owned by Dayton Hudson/Target, another extensive restoration of the landmark State Street store, costing $115 million, was begun; the last of the renovation was completed after the May acquisition. The 2004 renovations included the installation of new lower-level shops, removal of steel grates from the upper portions of the store's historic light wells, and the addition of an eleven-story atrium in what had been an alley and mid-store light shaft.

Yes, I know the store is now Macy's. And daresay I like Macy's? It took a little getting used to, but I accepted Macy's.
But the clocks will always be Marshall Fields. They were Fields' emblem and even today, Macy's sells commemorative Marshall Fields merchandise with the clock. Periodically the Frango Mint candy boxes will have the clock on the box.
The clock was designed by the firm of Graham, Anderson, Probst and White. It is made of 7¾ tons of cast bronze and hung by ornamental ironwork projected several feet from the building.
The face of the clock is 46" across, the minute hand is 27" and the hour hand is 20½" long.
Compare and contrast this to the clocks at Pittsburgh's famous Kaufmann's Department Store. www.flickr.com/photos/52209513@N03/9266665244/in/photolis... Both Fields and Kaufmanns had two clocks on their flagship stores. Both were landmarks, symbolic of their stores. Both were used as convenient meeting places. Both Marshall Fields and Kaufmanns ended up in the Macy's chain. Unfortunately, Macy's closed the Pittsburgh store in 2015. It will be converted to office, condo, and retail space but the clocks will remain.

Gingerbread Bundt Cake
(A special) served with vanilla ice cream.
"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
