Remembering Marshall Fields

For more than 150 years, Marshall Field and Co. reigned as Chicago’s leading department store. Leslie Goddard traces the store’s history from its beginnings as a dry good store in 1852 into a world-class fashion and service trendsetter and international tourist destination. Photographs, ads, postcards, menus, and memorabilia trace the store’s cherished traditions – the Walnut Room Christmas tree to the State Street store’s legendary window displays.
