Macy's, to their credit, kept the Chicago tradition of Marshall Field's famous Frango Mints. And further to Macy's credit, they moved production of the candies back to Chicago, albeit not in Marshall Field's former kitchen in the State Street Store (towards the end, Marshall Field's infamously transferred production out of state).
Marshall Field and Company
Built: 1902, 1906, 1907, 1914
Arch: Daniel H Burnham
Style: Classical Revival
One of the finest department store buildings in the nation. The building is noteworthy for its lavish interiors, including two atria decorated with stained glass and Tiffany mosaics, and the much beloved Walnut Room.
Unveiled on Sept 30, 1907 the dome is the world's largest example of an unbroken Tiffany favrile iridescent glass mosaic, covers 6000 square feet and contains 1.6 million pieces of glass. Built under the direct supervision of Mr. Tiffany, the dome is an example of his famous favrile process - a type of firing which allows glass to be made in an unlimited range of color and texture. The process of creating this dome took one and a half years to complete with over 50 artisans and scaffolding.
The last day Field's is Field's in Chicago or any place else. Sept. 10, this is Macy's on State Street. Boo! :(

On November 26th, 1897 the historic Marshall Field clock at Washington & State Streets 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.
Be sure to visit this one of a kind clock!
