The Marshall Field and Company Building, which now houses Macy’s at State Street in Chicago, Illinois, was built in two stages – north end in 1901-02 (including a columned entrance) and south end in 1905-06, and was the flagship location of the Marshall Field and Company and Marshall Field’s chain of department stores. Since 2006, it is the main Chicago mid-western location of the Macy’s department stores. Visitors to the Macy’s store can’t help but look up when walking through the building’s first-floor cosmetics department – it provides a distant view of a shimmering vaulted ceiling that covers 6,000 square feet and comprises 1.6 million pieces of iridescent glass. The 5th floor provides an up-close view and it’s simply jaw-dropping. The dome ceiling was designed by renowned glass artist Louis Comfort Tiffany (it’s the largest Tiffany mosaic in existence) and crafted by a group of 50 artisans who worked atop scaffolds for over 18 months to complete the project.
