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.

People walk past the clock outside the flagship Marshall Field store in downtown Chicago. For generations families would arrange to meet under the clock.
In the old Marshall Field's. I was snapping aplenty and a security guard says, "Excuse me." I thought he was going to tell me to stop but he just wanted to talk about cameras. It kept surprising me how nice Chicagoans are.
