USA - Illinois


Rotunda and Tiffany Dome - Marshall Field & Company's Store, South State Street Building

My friend Lindsay, knowing that I love postcards, Marshall Fields, and Chicago, sent me this wonderful card of the Marshall Field's State Street flagship store, located in downtown Chicago.  The card appears to be quite old, but is undated and unused.  The only date on the card is a mentioning that this feature of the building was unveiled to the public on September 30, 1907, so the card possibly dates from the early 20th century. 

Marshall Field's Building still exists (and is currently owned and operated as a Macy's); however, most people still know it as Marshall Fields.  The building and store occupies an entire city block.
