CHICAGO, Il- DEC 7, 2004: Real estate mogul Donald Trump makes an appearance at Chicago's Marshall Field's on State street to promotes his new cologne, The Fragrance. He was joined by 'The Apprentice' winner Bill Rancic.
I took this photo on November 12, 2004, at the gala opening for "Jacqueline Kennedy: The White House Years" at The Field Museum.
Barack Obama had just been elected days before, and everyone was giddy to see the new Junior Senator from Illinois in the same room as the Senior Senator from Massachusetts, Ted Kennedy.
And Michelle looked simply fabulous.
After Senator Kennedy's surgery this past week, and with Senator Obama's nomination now secure, I thought it appropriate to dust off these digital pics and share.
Heads of Industry, from Chicago's Gilded Age (Montgomery Ward, Marshall Field, et al).
Update Gapers Block apparently wrote about them recently.

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.
The bust on the wall at the right was rescued from the Garrick Theatre.

This is the largest flag ever to hang in a department store. Marshall Field’s State Street store in Chicago displayed this flag in the main atrium. At 5,000 square feet, it was hard to miss and impossible to forget.
Marshall Field III bought the property in 1921 and had an estate house built in 1925, one of the largest estates of the Gold Coast mansions.Field named the property "Caumsett", after the Matinecock tribe's original name for the peninsula meaning "place by a sharp rock"

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.
In honor of Chicago releasing the redesign of their Olympic bid logo, I'm posting another photo taken from the streets of Chicago when they had all the older torch logs featured in ads across the downtown loop. This one is on State Street and features good ol' Marshall Field's flagship store in the background (now Macy's but whatever, it's still Fields in the hearts of Chicagoans). I really like how you can see the Marshall Fields clocks by Pierce Anderson in the background.

About the posters:
Chicago is making a bid to host the Olympics in 2016. Billboards and posters went up in the Loop area of downtown Chicago the weekend before the U.S. Olympic Committee came to visit Chicago to evaluate Chicago's venues and plans for the 2016 Summer Olympic Games. The posters say, "Stir the Soul."
"Stir the Soul" comes from the famous Daniel Burnham quote, "Make no little plans; they have no magic to stir men's blood and probably themselves will not be realized. Make big plans; aim high in hope and work, remembering that a noble, logical diagram once recorded will not die, but long after we are gone be a living thing, asserting itself with ever-growing insistence."
-Daniel Burnham, 1910

Thanks to my twin brother, Erik, for instant messaging his idea to me that I shoot these posters.
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.
Although the company itself no longer exists, a reminder to its former location remains at the famous Chicago Landmark.
The Chicago Elevated "L" Structure is located on Wells Street, between Lake and Van Buren, Van Buren between Wells and Wabash, Wabash between Van Buren and Lake, and Lake between Wabash and Wells in downtown Chicago (the Loop), and was determined eligible by the Keeper of the National Register in 1978. The L does not appear to have been formally listed on the National Register.
The theme for this year’s Macy’s Flower Show is “Carnival.” The display on the 9th floor allowed aerial views of the store.

The Merchandise Mart Hall of Fame, lining the Merchandise Mart Plaza in front of Merchandise Mart, at 222 North Bank Drive, honors eight innovative Americans merchants with heroic four-times life-size bronze busts commissioned in 1953 by Joseph Kennedy. The busts are mounted on tall pillars and line the Chicago River like sentries facing north toward the gold front door of the Mart.
The Hall of Fame features busts of Edward A. Filene, the founder of Filene's and a pioneer in establishing credit unions, sculpted by Henry Rox; Marshall Field, the founder of Marshall Field and Company, and John R. Wanamaker, considered the father of modern advertising, both sculpted by Lewis Iselin; Julius Rosenwald, part-owner of Sears, Roebuck and Company, and George Huntington Hartford, founder of the Great Atlantic and Pacific Tea Company (A&P), both sculpted by Charles Umlauf; Robert E. Wood, under whose leadership, Sears, Roebuck and company shifted from mail order sales to retail sales, and estalbished All Star Insurance, sculpted by Minna Harkavy; Aaron Montgomery Ward, who invented mail order with Montgomery Ward & Comapny, and Frank Winfield Woolworth, the founder of F.W. Woolworth Company, both sculpted by Milton Horn.
The Merchandise Mart, or Mart, was the largest building in the world, with 4 million square feet of floor space, when it opened in 1930. Originally owned by the Marshall Field family, the Mart centralized Chicago's wholesale goods business by consolidating vendors and trade under a single roof. Joseph P. Kennedy bought the Mart in 1945 for $12.5 million. Later managed by Sargent Shriver, the art deco building designed by Graham, Anderson, Probst and White, was owned for more than 50 years by the Kennedy family through Merchandise Mart Properties, Inc. until 1998, when MMPI was acquired by Vornado Realty Trust for $450 million in cash and a $100-million-plus stake in Vornado.

In the background, located at a bend in the Chicago River, 333 West Wacker Drive is a prominent Post-Modern, 36-story edifice echoes the curving form of its natural neighbor. Designed in 1983 by the architectural firm of Kohn Pedersen Fox, the office tower is sheathed with reflective, green-tinted glass that changes shade depending on the sun and water. Broad horizontal bands of brushed stainless steel run every 6 ft. Green marble and gray granite form the base of this elegant, wedge-shaped building, materials used again in the two-story lobby.
In 2007, 333 West Wacker Drive was ranked #62 on the AIA 150 America's Favorite Architecture list.
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.

An annual tradition, the Walnut Room at the State Street Marshall Field Building towers over the dining tables on the seventh floor.

If (and only if) you stay outside and can focus your eyes away from the awnings and window furnishings added by the building's current reoccupant, Field's flagship emporium looks much the same as ever. Don't be fooled, though: If the store wasn't classified as a historical landmark, those corner plaques would have disappeared faster than you can say "Strawbridge & Clothier."
Chicagoans are a bit antsy over Macy's rebranding exercises, to put it very mildly...
