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!
