On November 26th, 1897, this historic Marshall Field clock at this building (now Macy's) on Washington & State Streets in downtown was installed. It soon became a Chicago landmark. The original clock was replaced in 1907 with the clock we see today. The clock on the corner of State & Randolph was installed in 1904.
Both of these Great Clocks were designed by Graham, Anderson, Probst & White. Each clock is made of 7 tons of cast bronze and are attached to the structure with ornamental ironwork. The face of the clock is 46 inches across while the minute hand is 27 inches long and the hour hand is 20 1/2 inches.
On November 3rd, 1945, the clock was made famous in a Norman Rockwell Saturday Evening Post cover with a repairman setting the landmark clock with his own pocket watch.

The Marshall Fields in Minneapolis always makes a Christmas display on their 8th floor. Last Christmas (I gave you my heart...oh that's something else) they did Cinderella and I think there were about 20 different scenes that they constructed. The fairy godmother scene was cool because she kept appearing and disappearing. I guess Cinderella had a cat to tell her what chores to do next.
One of the first scenes in this year's Marshall Field's animated holiday display in downtown Minneapolis. I went to these every year as a kid, but I don't remember them being as short as this one was.

Marshall Field State St. Chicago - looking down at Washington Street and the bright corner at Dearborn. The white temporary tent buildings were being set up for the Christkindlmarkt held at Daly Plaza. Also, the Daley Plaza Christmas Tree can be seen at the top of the photo. It is under construction. The tree was assembled from MANY different trees put together to appear as one tree. Taken from the coffee shop window
Marshall Field State St. Chicago - Special Christmas window displays. The Walgreens sign from the Walgreens that was formerly on the corner of Randolph and State can be seen on the left side of the glass.
Looking west in the Pedway, below Macy's Department Store (former Marshall Fields and Company Building, on State Street). On the left is Barbara's Bookstore, an independent bookstore located within the Macy's basement complex. On the right are some of the stained glass windows installed for display in the Pedway.
This photo is part of a numbered series of photos inside the Pedway that I took in April 2022. The Pedway is a network of underground pedestrian tunnels, passageways and connections in downtown Chicago.
When I was a child, my family would take me downtown to see the holiday windows at Marshall Field's. They never failed to instill a sense of magic in the season. Around the time I turned 12 or 13, the windows started to lose their luster. More often than not, they were decorated with a theme that would allow for shameless marketing tie-ins and/or would display a woeful lack of artistic originality. I'm sorry to say that since Macy's took over, little has changed. Quite frankly, the windows suck again this year.
