The Marshall Field Annex Building (northwest corner of Wabash and Washington) was designed by Charles Atwood out of Daniel Burnham's architectural firm and opened in 1893. Marshall Field's is on the National Register of Historic Places #78001123, and is also a National Historic Landmark.
Opening day (5/25/16) at this beautiful grocery on the first floor of a former Marshall Field's building (later, Macy's) on the Northwest side. Cermak is a local chain I enjoy and this store is much bigger and fancier than their others (even serves tacos and has gelato and salad bars), but still with low prices, and the bonus of being in a former industrial space.

The Northland Center was opened in March 1954 and will close in April 2015. The shopping center was designed by Victor Gruen and developed by the J.L.Hudson Company. Northland Center was the largest shopping center in America when it opened and had the largest department store branch in the world. In 1974, the shopping center was enclosed plus JCPenney, and Montgomery Ward were added as anchors. MainStreet / Kohl's and Target were later anchor stores as well. Kohl's closed 1994, Montgomery Ward closed 1998, JCPenney closed 1999, Target closed 2015 (February 1st), and Macy's closed 2015 (March 22nd).

One of the few remnants from 1954. This survived the enclosure of the mall in 1974 unlike most other sculptures. The city of Southfield wants to keep this statue. Today is Macy's last day in business.

The former flagship Marshall Field and Company Building location on State Street in the Loop of downtown Chicago was officially renamed Macy's on State Street on September 9, 2006.
When the original Marshall Field building opened in 1907, it included a stunning Louis Comfort Tiffany, decorated ceiling that is both the first and largest ceiling ever built in favrile glass, containing over 1.6 million pieces.
The Marshall Field and Company Building at State and Washington Streets in Chicago was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978 and is part of the Loop Retail National Historic District. The building was designated a Chicago Landmark on November 1, 2005. At two million square feet of available floor space, the building is the second-largest department store in the United States.
Other famous parts of the building include exterior clocks, which have existed since the building was constructed. This clock is located on the corner of Randolph and State Streets.

The Tiffany ceiling was installed in 1907. It is both the first ceiling to use favrile iridescent glass and is the largest glass mosaic of it's kind containing over 1.6 million pieces. The State Street side of Marshall Field's (now Macy's State Street) was designed by the firm of Daniel Burnham and Company in 1902 and 1907. Marshall Field's is on the National Register of Historic Places #78001123, and is also a National Historic Landmark.
From the very elaborate windows of Marshall Field's. This year's story is about Cinderella, and this is the wicked stepmother.
A view of one Chicago's most famous early skyscrapers from under the Great Clock of the former Marshall Field & Company Store on the corner of State and Washington St.
The 202-foot tall Reliance Building was completed in 1895, and its steel and glass design is representative of the "Chicago School" of architecture. Construction occurred in two stages, with the first floor and basement designed by John Root of Chicago's Burnham and Root architectural firm in 1890, and the upper floors t of the building completed by Charles B. Atwood in 1895.
The first tenant in 1891 was Carson Pirie Scott & Company who, in 1903, moved to their own landmark Carson Pirie Scott Store one block south at State and Madison St. In the decades after Carson's moved, the building was occupied by an array of merchants and professionals.
Both the exterior and interior of the Reliance Building was restored between 1995 and 1999, and the building re-opened in 1999 as the Hotel Burnham. The skyscraper lies within the Loop Retail Historic District and is a Chicago Landmark. It is also listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1970, and was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1976.
The iconic Great Clock of the former Marshall Field & Company flagship store (now Macy's) is seen at the top of this view. The clock was installed in 1907, replacing the first clock installed ten years earlier. A second and less famous Great Clock at the State and Randolph St. corner of the store was hung in 1904. Each of the clocks weigh 7-3/4 tons and are hung by ornamental ironwork. The Marshall Field & Company building is a National Historic Landmark.

The 2020 Great Tree at the State St. store looks very different this year.
For years, the tree has been displayed in the middle of the Walnut Room's dining room while holiday shoppers enjoy the buffet.
This year, the tables and the crowds are gone. Pot pies are available to go.

on the escalator at Marshall Fields on State Street...
I'm going to be sad when it becomes a Macy's. I can't complain too much though since I work at corporate HQ....drat!
An excellent example of Mid-century Modernism turning its back on the street as compared to the earlier department stores.
This was the former Donaldson's/Golden Rule Department Store, then Carson Pirie Scott, then Dayton's, then Marshall Field's, and now finally (maybe?) Macy's. This was connected to the St Paul Town Center, a failed downtown shopping which has been converted to office space.
Sad to see that there isn't a visible Macy's sign on the front of the store...
The Eastland Center in Harber Woods, MI was built in 1957 and originally featured a 432,000 sqaure foot Hudson's Department Store. The "J.L. Hudson Co." developed the mall solely as a place for one of their stores to anchor. Over the years other anchor stores were added such as JCPenney (later Sears / now vacant), MainStreet (later Kohl's / demolished for Target), and Montgomery Ward (later Steve & Barry's / now Shoppers World). The Hudson's store later became Marshall Field's and now is currently Macy's (the third level of the store has been closed and the fourth floor is just offices). Today the mall is 1,415,557 square feet.

View of State Street in the Loop on a late March afternoon. What was then the flagship store of Marshall Field's is in the center.
The State Street side of Marshall Field's (now Macy's State Street) was designed by the firm of Daniel Burnham and Company in 1902 and 1907. Marshall Field's is on the National Register of Historic Places #78001123, and is also a National Historic Landmark.
The Oakland Mall opened in 1968. The original anchor stores were Sears and Hudson's. Another wing with JCPenney was added in 1979. Hudson's became Marshall Field's in 2001 and Macy's in 2006. The Oakland Mall is a fairly large mall at 1,500,000 square feet.

This Macy's was opened in 1970 as a Hudson's department store. The store later became a Marshall Field's and finally Macy's in 2006.
Southland Center in Taylor, MI was opened in 1970. The mall was designed by Victor Gruen for the Dayton-Hudson Corporation (now Target). I didn't realize until after I left the mall, but this is one of only a few Macy's stores that still has a restaurant on the upper level.
The mall was originally anchored by a Hudson's department store. Later in the 1970s JCPenney was added. Mervyn's (now demolished for a new CineMark muliti-plex) and a Target (on an out-parcel) were added in the late 1980s. In the early 1990s a food court with a massive atrium was added. Hudson's later re-branded as Marshall Field's and again as Macy's in the 2000s. In 2006 Mervyn's left Michigan and Best Buy replaced the food court. Much of the food court was demolished for Best Buy but the atrium still exists in the middle of the store.
Since Dayton-Hudson sold off their properties and department stores, this mall is now owned by Rouse Properties. As of 2016, the mall recently got an H&M store and a CineMark cinema multiplex is being built on the old Mervyn's site. The CineMark looks like it is being built in the "NextGen" design and should be open later in 2016. I did notice a couple minor vacancies but they didn't appear like they were empty for too long. Overall, this mall seems to be doing pretty well.

This year's tree might be my favorite - it's distinctly Chicago (something the State Street store hasn't seen in a long time) with the iconic Chicago buildings and L train at the base!
